PrintThe Boise State roster has been freshly updated with jersey number changes for the spring, and the much anticipated hype of who wears No. 1 will have to wait. No one is wearing jersey No. 1 for the Broncos this spring. I expect some conspiratorial FanPosts about this.
The full list of jersey changes is after the jump, including Dextrell Simmons' single digit, a replacement for Austin Pettis' No. 2, and new numbers for grayshirts Troy Ware, Tyler Horn, and Holden Huff.
- Redshirt freshman wide receiver Matt Miller will wear No. 2. Miller previously wore No. 40.
- Incoming JC transfer nickel Dextrell Simmons will wear No. 5.
- Redshirt freshman kicker Dan Goodale will wear No. 19. CB Josh Borgman also wears No. 19.
- Junior defensive back Hazen Moss will wear No. 24. Moss previously wore No. 18.
- Redshirt freshman linebacker Robbie Lusk will wear No. 38. RB Raphiel Lambert also wears No. 38. Lusk previously wore No. 19.
- Redshirt freshman defensive end Austin Baker will wear No. 63. I did not know Baker existed until today.
- Grayshirt freshman defensive end Tyler Horn will wear No. 69.
- Redshirt freshman wide receiver Anthony Clarke will wear No. 81. Clarke previously wore No. 10.
- Grayshirt freshman wide receiver Troy Ware will wear No. 83.
- Grayshirt freshman tight end Holden Huff will wear No. 85.
In addition to updated numbers, the Boise State roster also features updated weights. I'll have a post tomorrow with the results of the biggest gainers and losers.
Your turn
Why the lack of a No. 1? How do you feel about another wideout wearing No. 2? Think Dextrell Simmons' No. 5 will make offensive players think he's a sweet, kind-hearted cornerback? Share your thoughts in the comments.

I heard Coach Pete say....
Tamburo is transferring to a different school. He doesn’t know what school yet, though.

I think Simmons number will make people think he is Jason Robinson
This is only scary to bar patrons and that one Utah State wideout he annihilated in 2009.
What's with the double numbers?
There are a few numbers that are assigned to 2 guys. I realize that it is done to make sure everyone has a number when there is such a large pool of players. However, does it indicate that one of the guys won’t be playing much this year or is it just so we can mess with the announcer’s head :)? I don’t recall both an offensive and defensive player sharing the same number and both getting playing time. I’m sure it has happened though. Could they both be on the field at the same time on special teams?

Malcolm Holland?
He was wearing #1, but I read a Munson post that said he wasn’t on coming to BSU after all. What’s up? He looked great in his video.

Munson, too much brevity.
and a little cryptic. Available to whom? Who’s on first?

He was off the team as of last August. I don't believe he enrolled at Boise State this spring.
Check roster.

From ESPN College Football Recruiting
“Arizona defensive back Malcolm Holland decides for the Broncos
Class of 2011 cornerback Malcolm Holland of Hamilton HS (Chandler, Ariz.) has accepted a scholarship offer from Boise State. "
Seems like he should be graduating high school this spring. But you are right, he isn’t showing up on the roster, and obviously other graduates are (see Ajayi). So what’s the deal? Whatchano that you’re not saying?

Perhaps it's the paperwork
The kid just recently committed so maybe they are still finalizing the paperwork (I hope!). I’m guessing that even with a scholarship, the student must officially enroll and be accepted by the university.

Agreed
He was just in the last few weeks, So roster could be behind a little.

#1 for a true frosh would be a big deal.
I think he would really have to show up in the fall, and be right there with D.J. for #2. But after looking at the tape on him I could see it happening.
"Every Damn Day."- Coach Pete
What player?
And more importantly, why should i trust you :) If that’s true though that’d be sweet, a four-year #1 and that probably means Ajayi won’t redshirt, which means we get to see Doug Mad Doug Smash crushing safeties and then have Jay break their ankles, double insult to double injury.

Interesting; you wouldn't think they give kid a #1 jersey and then "shirt" him.We thought #1 rotated to D; guess it aint the way it is.
We look to be thin at RB. Plus good recruiting tool; says “if you got the goods, you can be on the blue this tiem next year”. I year is a long time to a young man, least they were in my day. They still have 365 days plus extra in leap year right?

A few numeric observations
Hedrick (Double 14), Borgman (Double 19) and Hazen Moss (Double 24) need to be the holders. There has to be a way run some trickeration with having the holder and multiple backup kicker(s) having the same number. Send out two or three kickers at a time and line up in the daffy duck formation? Maybe one of these guys can drop kick? Something….???
Also, how many kickers do we have on the roster? Are we going for a record for walk-on kickers? I mean, wide left still hurts, (even if it officially never happened) and 155 lb. walk-on kickers probably don’t make that much of a dent at the training table, but I’ve never seen such a kicker heavy roster.
It’s not like they are getting a lot of concussions or anything from violent collisions, although Brotzman seemed to have his share of injuries during his career.
Bronco Nation, react!!!
Boise....... State!!!!!!!!!
Not only kicking, but someone has got to punt
May need 2 different for that, or even a kick off guy. It sure can make a big different to the coverage teams if there is a good punter and kicker

Just checking

Good point
Maybe he will also kick a FG or 2 this year also.

Kellen is bringing back the drop-kick
three points for each drop kick!
Maybe we should have drop-kicked at Reno…..

We played in Reno last year? I do not recall......
