Sam McCaskill to Raise Blue Chaos Flag

BOISE, Idaho – Former Boise State defensive end Sam McCaskill will hoist the Blue Chaos Flag ahead of the Broncos' home opener against Eastern Washington on Friday night at Albertsons Stadium.

McCaskill (2012-16) played an integral role in the Broncos' 2014 Fiesta Bowl victory, recording four tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss in the 38-30 win over No. 12 Arizona. Over his career, he appeared in 50 games and earned All-Mountain West First Team honors in 2016, leading the team in tackles for loss (14.0).

As a senior, McCaskill was named team captain. The Eugene, Oregon, native finished his career with 100 tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss, and 10.5 sacks.

"I am extremely grateful to help bring the noise to start the new season," McCaskill said. "I'm not one for recognition, but this is a true honor."

After his Boise State career, McCaskill signed as an undrafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings following the 2017 NFL Draft and spent the summer competing in Minnesota.

"Bronco Nation embodies the spirit of Boise State," McCaskill added. "It's a passionate, inspired fan base that stands behind its team. The Blue is a tremendous competitive advantage, but the noise is what really makes Albertsons Stadium a hostile environment."
