Blue Collar Roots
The blue collar standards of Boise State football surpass the current era of the program. When the blue turf made its debut on September 13, 1986, it represented a long-standing tradition of grit, hard work and humbleness which all ties back to Boise State’s blue collar mentality.
Travis Anderson, Boise State football starting safety, holds strong ties to the blue collar background due to the way he was raised. Back in his home state of California, Travis’ dad Jake is a firefighter and his mom works with dyslexic children at a special education school.
“My parents are really hard workers,” Travis said. “My parents raised me to be the man I am now and have helped me a lot.”
