Boise State University has named its senior leadership cadre for the upcoming 2026 football campaign, appointing three stalwarts—Roger Carreon, Maddux Madsen and Jayden Virgin‑Morgan—as team captains.
Leadership forged through experience
Carreon, a fifth‑year senior who anchors the offensive line, brings a wealth of experience, having logged 34 career appearances with 26 starts despite a history of injuries that have tested his durability.
Madsen, entering his third year as the Broncos’ full‑time starting quarterback, boasts a 20‑6 record, 6,586 passing yards and 50 touchdowns against just 18 interceptions, while also adding 423 rushing yards and 11 scores, underscoring his dual‑threat capability.
Virgin‑Morgan, a 6‑foot‑3 edge rusher, has compiled 120 tackles, 16 sacks and three pass breakups over 45 games, positioning him as the top Broncos prospect for the 2027 NFL Draft.
Coach Danielson’s endorsement
Head coach Spencer Danielson praised Carreon as the offensive line’s premier leader and highlighted Madsen’s blend of athleticism and poise, noting that the trio’s continuity reflects a deliberate strategy to build on recent successes.
The selections follow a lineage of leadership that included Kage Casey and Marco Notarainni in the previous season, both of whom have since pursued professional opportunities, and they signal a blend of stability and ambition as the Broncos prepare to defend their recent form.
