This is the second time Bowens has been named to the NFF Hampshire Honor Society. He was also named Academic All-MW for the fourth-straight season.
Callahan is a Business major who played all 14 games for the Broncos. He posted 19 tackles, including 2.5 TFLs and a solo sack. He was honored on the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team and earned Academic All-MW for the fourth-consecutive year.
Dooley, who is majoring in English, started 10 games at left guard for Boise State. He led an offensive line that ranked 13th in the nation in sacks allowed per game (1.14) and 15th in the country in yards per play (6.55). He was an Academic All-MW selection for the fourth time in his career.
Schramm, a Mechanical Engineering major, made 10 starts at linebacker for the Blue and Orange. The captain tallied 48 tackles and 4.0 TFLs, including 2.5 TFLs against Utah State. This is his second-straight season earning NFF Hampshire Honor Society recognition. He was also named College Sports Communicators Academic All-District and Academic All-MW.
Smith obtained his degree in Construction Management and played in 11 games for the Broncos. He caught 11 passes for 113 yards, including a 2-yard touchdown in a comeback win over San Jose State.
