Former #BoiseState head coach Chris Petersen was out at practice on Saturday.

Boise State WR Prince Stachan appears so much more relaxed/confident this fall. He's dominating on the field and has turned into a really good interview.

Had the chance to chat with Boise State freshman running back Sire Gaines after practice today.

This was his first interview since arriving on campus in January. He's maybe the most impressive, well-spoken 17-year-old I can remember talking with:https://t.co/Ij0jz3zxM4

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!

The 2024 Boise State football season kicks off with the start of Fall Camp.

#BoiseState sophomore QB Maddux Madsen will start Day 1 of Fall Camp running the No. 1 offense.

The quarterback competition is far from over, but Madsen gets honors because of the “equity” he has with this team. pic.twitter.com/ezoVCRYCQI

My overreaction from day one of Boise State fall camp:

-Prince Strachan (shown here) and Chris Marshall both might be two of the best receivers in the Mountain West already.

Both just dominated today and made some really impressive catches. pic.twitter.com/4hSktk3ogi

Chris Marshall. Wow. pic.twitter.com/2vkCxLPs3k

Nice day for the Boise State defense, which had four interceptions during team/7 on 7 drills today:

-McCoy pick-six in team
-Benefield pick-six off a tipped pass in team
-Earby pick off a tipped pass
-Notarainni pick in 7 on 7.

“He’s big enough, body wise, where he can play the boundary, and he’s quick enough and smart enough to play the field side. He also has the body type to where if we need to get him in the box that we can." – Boise State CB coach Demario Warren.

🧵A couple of camp observations:
– RFr safety Gabe Tahir looks physically impressive. Don’t know if he’ll get much PT this year, but he looks ready.
– Sire Gaines looks even bigger than he did in the spring. Jeanty, Dubar and Gaines all look like studs.

— Ron Counts (@Ron_BroncoBeat) July 31, 2024

🧵Observations from day 2 of fall camp:
– WR Cam Camper has shown a knack for beating defenders on deep routes. He caught two long TDs today. Both were thrown by Nelson. The Broncos have no shortage of receivers who can stretch the field (Camper, Strachan, Bolt, Marshall).

#BoiseState LB Marco Notarainni played 35+ snaps in a game 6 times last season.

He posted 51 TKL, 4.5 TFL and 3.0 sacks in those contests.

If you project those numbers out over a full 13-game schedule, his stat line would be All-MW caliber:

111 TKL | 10.0 TFL | 7.0 SK

#BoiseState sophomore Jayden Virgin-Morgan is going to play a HUGE roll on defense this fall.

Head coach Spencer Danielson says Virgin-Morgan put together a great offseason and will be one of the most “explosive” players the Broncos have on defense. pic.twitter.com/VDXa1BoiJt

#BoiseState kicker Jonah Dalmas was 4-for-5 on 50+ yard field goal attempts in 2023. His 4 makes were tied for 3rd most in the FBS.

Remember when the Broncos used a different kicker to attempt long field goals early in Dalmas’ career?

#BoiseState sophomore Ty Benefield is in a "better head space" this fall camp.

He knows the defense better, can play "way faster," and will step into the starting role at free safety, according to his position coach Tyler Stockton.

The semi-final times were stunning!

It is wild how good athletes are getting in this specific event.

Perspective?

9:24.78 would’ve been the 11th fastest time in the *final* at the 2020 Olympics.

The slowest semi-final time this year was 9:17.39!

So proud of Marisa! 👏👏 https://t.co/o8YW5nQaKm
