Boise State football's recent track record of true freshmen running backs is pretty strong, and the Broncos very likely could play two of them this fall.
On Wednesday, coach Bryan Harsin said that during summer workouts, which began last week, he has the mindset that incoming freshmen Andrew VanBuren and Danny Smith will play in 2018.
"Just because you never know ... Danny Smith, he's on campus right now, Andrew VanBuren, he looks good," Harsin said.
"Both those guys, they know it, they're coming in with the mindset they're playing. Whether we do remains to be seen, but with the depth at tailback, how that position goes, those guys have to be ready.
