The Legacy Project
Welcome to the Legacy Project, a space to celebrate the first Black student-athletes at Boise State University.
Last September, a group of alumni came to us with an inspiring plan: to highlight and bring to our community’s attention the history of Boise State University’s Black student-athletes. We are forever grateful for the efforts of Mike Campbell, Trent Johnson, Carl Powell and Booker Brown. Without their love for Boise State and the countless hours of work collecting information from their fellow alumni, this project would not be possible.
The initial group of honorees is comprised of a proud fraternity of Black Boise State athletes who competed between 1968-80, and helped lay the foundation for diversity and inclusion in Bronco Athletics before going on to successful careers in sport and beyond.
This is their story.
Our goal is for the Legacy Project to be displayed prominently and appropriately, providing insight to the commitments and contributions of this group of former student-athletes, which includes several Boise State Hall of Famers. We feel 'bleeding blue' also means 'never forgotten.'Legacy Project Team | Mike Campbell, Trent Johnson, Carl Powell, Booker Brown
