BOISE, Idaho – Boise State University will host its annual Pro Day on , offering a crucial platform for aspiring football players to showcase their talents to representatives from National Football League (NFL) teams.
The event, open to media coverage, will commence at 10:00 a.m. Local time and will be structured in two phases. Initial assessments will take place within the weight room of the Bleymaier Football Center, focusing on measurements and standardized strength tests – specifically, the vertical jump and bench press. Following this, the testing will transition to the Caven-Williams Sports Complex for on-field evaluations, including the 40-yard dash, shuttle sprints, and a series of drills tailored to specific player positions.
A total of fifteen players from the 2025 Boise State Broncos roster are currently scheduled to participate. The event also anticipates the attendance of three former Boise State players seeking to impress scouts, alongside two student-athletes from Idaho State University, broadening the pool of talent on display. Organizers have noted that participant lists are subject to change.
The confirmed list of Boise State players preparing for Pro Day includes wide receiver Latrell Caples, offensive lineman Kage Casey, defensive back Jeremiah Earby, defensive lineman Braxton Fely, long snapper Mason Hutton, tight end Matt Lauter, defensive lineman Keanu Mailoto, defensive back A’Marion McCoy, linebacker Marco Notarainni, offensive lineman Mason Randolph, kicker Jarrett Reeser, running back Malik Sherrod, defensive lineman Dion Washington, defensive back Zion Washington, and defensive lineman Malakai Williams. Kickers Jonah Dalmas, and defensive linemen Herbert Gums and Sheldon Newton are also slated to participate, as are Idaho State wide receivers Tsion Nunnally and Mike Shulikov.
Pro Day represents a critical juncture for these athletes, particularly those hoping to secure a place in the upcoming NFL Draft. It provides a concentrated opportunity to demonstrate their physical capabilities and football skills directly to team scouts, potentially influencing their draft stock and future professional careers. The event’s significance is amplified by the increasing attention Boise State players have garnered in recent years, with several Broncos consistently attracting NFL interest.
Boise State’s football program has a history of producing NFL talent. The university, currently competing in the Mountain West Conference but slated to join the Pac-12 in 2026, has established itself as a consistent source of players for the professional ranks. The program boasts 23 conference championships and has achieved national recognition, including a Division I-AA national championship in 1980 and a College Football Playoff appearance in 2024, according to university records.
The inclusion of players from Idaho State underscores a regional collaboration aimed at maximizing exposure for collegiate athletes. While Boise State’s program enjoys a higher profile, providing a platform for players from neighboring institutions can benefit all involved, potentially increasing the overall talent pool available to NFL teams.
The logistical details surrounding media access and regulations for the Pro Day event will be communicated closer to the event date, according to Boise State Athletics. This controlled access is standard practice, allowing teams to conduct their evaluations without undue distraction while still providing media outlets with opportunities to report on the proceedings.
Recent Boise State football news highlights the program’s ongoing development. The university recently announced additions to its coaching staff on , and has restored a historic rivalry game with the University of Idaho on . Offensive lineman Kage Casey received an invitation to the NFL Combine, further demonstrating the program’s ability to attract professional attention.
The Pro Day event follows a recent showcase of Boise State talent at the NFL Combine, where players undergo a more comprehensive evaluation process. While the Combine provides a broader assessment, Pro Day allows athletes to perform in a more familiar environment and focus on drills specific to their positions, potentially highlighting strengths that may not be fully showcased in the Combine setting.
The upcoming Pro Day is particularly noteworthy given recent reports indicating increased attendance from NFL scouts. This heightened interest suggests that Boise State players are being seriously considered by professional teams, potentially leading to a strong showing in the 2026 NFL Draft. The event will serve as a final opportunity for these athletes to make a lasting impression before teams finalize their draft boards.
