Scrimmage Overview
Boise State held its first fall camp scrimmage on Saturday afternoon, but the session did not feature a public scoreboard or detailed statistics, leaving observers to gauge the action through observation.
Head coach Spencer Danielson took the opportunity to highlight areas that need work while expressing enthusiasm for the upcoming season, noting that the Broncos open at Oregon on September 5.
Quarterback Maddux Madsen avoided turnovers and directed several scoring drives, while senior Max Cutforth showed flashes of arm strength but also made decisions that require refinement. Freshmen Cash Herrera and Jackson Taylor displayed growth, though they still faced operational challenges.
Among the receivers, Akeem Wright, a transfer from De Anza College, earned a starting role and delivered a strong performance, whereas senior Ben Ford, still recovering from an ACL tear, remains the most experienced option. Freshmen Rasean Jones, AJ Jones and junior Cam Bates also had productive days, underscoring the team’s relative inexperience in game situations.
Position Battles
The offensive line competition is taking shape, with likely starters Daylon Metoyer, Roger Carreon and Tyler Ethridge leading the group. Competition for the left guard and center positions involves Jason Steele, Carson Rasmussen and Stewart Taufa, while sophomore Jacob Tracy is expected to replace Metoyer at right tackle.
Eligibility Questions
Eligibility remains uncertain for Jeremiah Earby and Braxton Fely, whose court order permits five‑year participation but whose status has not been confirmed since early August, leaving their potential contributions in doubt.
Coach Danielson remains optimistic that the roster will continue to develop, and the Broncos are focused on translating the scrimmage insights into performance when they travel to face Oregon on Sept. 5.
