Boise State's freshman sensation Campbell Wilson has quickly become the talk of the Pac-12, earning the league's Newcomer of the Week honor after a dazzling start to the 2026 season.
A historic opening act
Wilson's breakout began in the Broncos' 3-0 victory over CSUN on August 12, where he netted two goals and added an assist. The performance not only marked his first collegiate double but also made him the first Boise State player to score twice in a season opener since Shannon Saxton in 2007.
Building momentum
Just four days later, Wilson struck again in a 4-1 win over Weber State, becoming the first freshman to find the net in consecutive matches since Aubree Chatterton in 2017. Across the two games he contributed three goals and two assists, underscoring his versatility and impact on the offensive front.
A milestone award
The Pac-12's recognition marks Wilson's first career weekly honor and serves as the inaugural conference accolade of the 2026 season. His achievement highlights the growing excitement around Boise State's program and signals a promising future for the young forward.
Looking ahead, the Broncos are set to travel to Dallas, Texas, where they will face SMU on August 20 at 4 p.m. MT. The match will be streamed live on ACCNX, offering fans a chance to see Wilson's continued rise on a national stage.
