The Boise State Broncos have announced this year's team captains announced today on Coach Harsin's twitter page. Coach Harsin went with 2 juniors and a senior.
No real surprises for the team's captains wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, quarterback Brett Rypien, and linebacker Leighton Vander Esch are picked as team captains for this season. It's Rypien's second nod at being named a team captain.
The Broncos plan practice is in game mode this week as they get set for their season opener versus Troy. The competition at running back is at an all-time high.
The team wrapped up camp this past week and Alexander Mattison missed the last couple of fall practices. However, Coach Harsin says he should be ready to go by the beginning of the season.
With Mattison out, Ryan Wolpin has been getting extra time with the number one offense.
"Ryan Wolpin has done well. Alexander Mattison has had a few things that have kept him out but he will get the opportunity to come back. Robert Mahone is getting more reps, Drake Beasley is getting more reps,” said, Head Coch Bryan Harsin.
