Haden Hoggarth took a massive leap of faith when he came to Boise State in January 2017.
The kicker had spent two years out of football, did not have a locker of his own, and as a walk-on, knew he may not even be asked to be on the roster in the fall. The Florida native won the starting job and hit 18-of-23 field goals and all 57 extra points last season as a junior.
On Saturday, he lined up for a 60-yard field goal during Fan Fest at Albertsons Stadium. Senior associate athletic director Brad Larrondo was on the public address system, talking about Hoggarth’s accomplishments — but he kept talking, for good reason.
