BOISE, Idaho — Six former Boise State football standouts are set to showcase their skills in front of NFL scouts on Tuesday during the Broncos' annual Pro Day.
Representatives from 30 different teams made their way to the City of Trees for last year's event, where players eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft and free agent signing opportunities participate in physical tests and football-related drills.
At least one Bronco has been selected in the NFL Draft every year since 2010. Boise State also saw its streak of consecutive years with a scouting combine invite extend to 20, as running back George Holani made his way to Indianapolis to work out with other pro-hopefuls.
Holani ran a 4.52 in the 40-yard dash, a 1.57 in the 10-yard split and posted a 39-inch vertical jump. The California native also recorded a 10-foot, 7-inch broad jump, and hit 24 reps on the bench press.
Other Broncos slated to participate in Tuesday's Pro Day include Cade Beresford (OL), Ethan Carde (OL), Billy Bowens (WR), Stefan Cobbs (WR) and Koby Tryggestad (LS).
Three College of Idaho players will also work out at Boise State for the second year in a row in Chip Mitchell (DB), Garret Rehberg (OL) and Jon Schofield (WR). Additionally, Idaho State's Cyrus Wallace (WR) and Soujah Gasu (RB) are set to participate.
Testing includes the 40-yard dash, 225-pound bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, short shuttle and three-cone drill. Players will also participate in position drills and have their height, weight, hand measurement and wing span recorded.
