As spring practices ended for the Boise State football team last weekend, it gave the Broncos a shot to let its healthy veterans establish themselves in key roles, but it also let new faces insert themselves into the discussion.
When most players redshirt, they work on the scout team, getting their feet wet with the team without a ton of responsbility. But in the spring, the reins come off, and some showed they will be factors in the fall.
“You’re seeing some new faces out there ... the young guys that are getting reps that were redshirting that are getting more reps in spring, it’s really helped those guys because you’re seeing experience happening out there,” Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said.
