Nine Broncos on Phil Steele's Preseason All-Mountain West Team

Nine Boise State football players are on Phil Steele' preseason All-Mountain West Conference team.  Steele usually has one of the better preseason football magazines and this is considerable respect for the Bronco program.

Quarterback Kellen Moore, running back Doug Martin, wide receiver Tyler Shoemaker, center Thomas Byrd and tackle Nate Potter were on the first-team ffense from Boise State.  Defensive end Shea McClellin, who had a breakout junior season last year, and tackle Billy Winn are both on the defensive front on the preseason team.  George Iloka also made the All-MWC team on defense while Chris Potter was selected as a punt returner.

Here is the complete list:
