Boise State football heads into fall camp this season with an open competition brewing behind starter, as multiple quarterbacks battle for the backup role on the depth chart. The Broncos will sort out their quarterback 2 situation through camp practices before the season gets underway.
Competition for backup quarterback positions is common at the college level, particularly on programs like Boise State where depth and development behind a starter can prove critical over the course of a long Mountain West season. Fall camp gives coaching staff the chance to evaluate quarterbacks in game-speed situations, including two-minute drills, red zone packages, and live-action scrimmages.
No depth chart has been officially released, and the outcome of the competition will likely depend on how each quarterback performs across multiple weeks of practice and preseason scrimmages.
What Comes Next
Boise State’s fall camp typically runs through August ahead of the season opener. Fans and followers of the program can expect more clarity on the backup quarterback situation as the Broncos release updated depth chart information closer to game week.
