They were by far the smallest guys sporting blue helmets and jerseys Wednesday, but they were the biggest stars at Boise State’s practice.
Teaming up with St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital, the Broncos honored two local children as Broncos for a day.
Twelve-year-old Reece Bass and 14-year-old Nikko Worthington got the star treatment from the team, hanging out with players on the sideline and signing mock letters of intent to join the Broncos.
Worthington called in a play, and Bass, playing quarterback, was initially supposed to hand the ball off, but kept the snap for a touchdown run.
