But after back-to-back losing seasons, Hankins has hit the transfer portal.  He was a member of the All Conference-USA FreshmanTeam in 2020 and the  All Conference-USA Second Team in 2022  Rushing for over 800 yards on 157 attempts (5.2 yards per carry) along with five touchdowns, Hankins contributed to a majority of the Miner's success on the ground this year.  While watching Hankins you can see he is a bruiser coming from the backfield, almost like a wrecking ball. Hankins looks for contact. At 226 pounds, it is hard to find a linebacker in the country who would want to do the Oklahoma drill with this back.  When you watch his highlights he might not have the top-end, home-run speed, but it has not seemed to stop him from being productive.  Hankins is a graduate t...

It’s not often that a league-leading passer switches teams.  Now there’s Max Brosmer, quarterback, New Hampshire.  Brosmer was a 2-star pro-style quarterback out of Roswell, GA. He held interest from North Carolina, Tennessee, and Harvard before eventually committing to New Hampshire.  Brosmer played in 11 games during his freshman year but struggled, averaging around 180 yards per game. It was not until 2021 that Brosmer showed off his potential.  In 2022, Brosmer threw for over 3,100 yards (242.6/game), 27 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.  Brosmer continued to grow as a passer. This past year he led the FCS in passing yards with almost 3,500 yards which is 300 more yards than second place. He added 29 touchdowns with only five interceptions. Max Brosmer from Week 4-8 had five straight games throwing for over 330 yards, 2+ TDs, and 0 INTs. Br...

Courtesy of the Idaho Press  Eric McAlister was a 3-star prospect in the class of 2021 (0.8600 rating via 247Sports) from Azle, TX where he was named District Co-MVP in 2020. When he committed to Boise Stae he ranked as the 916th best recruit in the country and the 133rd ranked player in Texas.  McAlister redshirted his freshman year, but in 2022, he made his impact. Starting only two games, he registered 259 receiving yards on 11 catches and four touchdowns.  2023 was a different story. Averaging almost 19 yards per catch, McAlister has been dominating the Mountain West. McAlister announced his transfer after a week 9 loss to Fresno State 37-30, where he received 19 targets, which was the most in the country that week.  McAlister told Bronco Nation News that a “fractured relationship with coach Andy Avalos” is owed part of the blame it did not work out in Boise.  On Nov. 12 Boise State fired Avalos.  Since then, McAlister has opened up to the idea of retur...
