Boise State Running Back Transfers Boost Team Depth

Boise State's running back room is drawing attention ahead of the new season, with Fresno State transfer Malik Sherrod emerging as a fan favorite for his versatility, leadership, and high-energy play. Sherrod’s ability to run, catch, and return kicks has made him a standout in both spring and fall camps, earning praise from coaches and teammates as a key weapon in the offense after the departure of star tailback Ashton Jeanty. Meanwhile, redshirt freshman Sire Gaines is back from injury and expected to be a major contributor, impressing both coaches and fellow players like Sherrod with his passion and leadership. The Broncos' backfield, featuring a mix of seasoned transfers and promising young players, is poised to be a dynamic force this season. Elsewhere, BYU’s Sione Moa has risen from relative obscurity to a significant role in the Cougars’ offense, showcasing resilience and determination after overcoming injuries. Both programs are looking to new faces to fill the void left by departing stars and drive success in the coming year.
