For the second time in the first week of fall camp, Boise State has given a scholarship to a walk-on.
Senior defensive end Austin Silsby, a Kuna High grad, was the latest recipient, according to a tweet from coach Bryan Harsin. Silsby played in six games last season, making five tackles (one for loss). He had two sacks in the 2016 spring game.
