BOISE, Idaho – Boise State running back Dylan Riley was named the Old Trapper Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season, the conference announced. Riley ran for a career-high 201 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries in the Broncos' 56-31 win over UNLV.

Riley averaged 13.4 rushing yards per attempt, the fourth-highest single-game average in program history. He is the first MW player to eclipse 200 rushing yards in a game this season and is currently second in the nation in yards per carry (8.08). He notched 157 yards in the first half, the most by a Bronco since Ashton Jeanty ran for 186 in the first half against Utah State on Oct. 5, 2024. His long runs of 65 and 49 yards gave him five plays of 40+ yards this season, most on the team.

Riley is the only running back to earn MW Offensive Player of the Week this season. He joins quarterbacks Micah Alejado (Hawai'i) and Anthony Colandrea (UNLV) as the only players to receive the award multiple times this year. Riley, Ashton Jeanty (2024) and Jeremy McNichols (2016) are the only Boise State running backs to be selected multiple times in the same season.
