There’s actually two members of the Boise State football team that wear #33, so despite today actually being 20 days out from the season, we will actually be highlighting…both of them. Because there was a bit of a mix-up 13 days ago! So, with that out of the way, let’s get to…

2023 Prospectus
Cortez has been mentioned frequently by the coaching staff in his two off-seasons here as someone that works hard and stands out. He’s added some size recently too.
