Boise State’s depth chart is beginning to take shape following Saturday’s fall camp scrimmage.

The Broncos, who will open the 2026 season on Saturday, Sept. 5 against Oregon at Autzen Stadium, must replace multiple key starters on both sides of the ball.  

Two of the fiercest position battles are at wide receiver and defensive back. Head coach Spencer Danielson has been largely pleased with both groups through the first portion of fall camp. 

Heading into Week 3 of camp, here is a projected depth chart for Boise State on offense and defense.
