Walk-On's at Boise State

Of course the biggest news was revealed in yesterday's article previewing the Boise State running backs.  Malcolm Johnson, who led the nation in rushing in high school (6,975 yards in his career), is back with the Broncos after a year at Mt. Hood Community College. 

Running back Zach Keiser from Coeur d'Alene High School, fullback Jamal Wilson from Fontana, California, wie receiver Cory Brehm of Granite Bay, California, defensive lineman Beau Martin of Lakewood, Colorado, linebacker Mitchell McCarthy of Shingleton, California and long snapper Dakota Shackleton of Danville, California have all joined the team. 

We can now also answer the grayshirt question--according to sources tight end Hayden Plinke of Hillsboro, Oregon is the only Bronco that will grayshirt.  Now we get down to the question of which members of the 2011 recruiting class will redshirt and which will play.
