Boise State will revive its athletics Hall of Fame induction on April 13 — the first class of Bronco legends in 11 years.
Given that Boise State requires athletes to be five years past their graduation date to become eligible, no player from the 2002 through 2017 run of football success — a stretch that includes all 11 of the Broncos’ Top 25 seasons, the three Fiesta Bowl championships, the first four first-round NFL Draft picks and every Football Bowl Subdivision All-American in school history — has been eligible before.
Same goes for six of the 10 athletes to win individual national championships.
