While the entire Boise State defense is stellar, I wanted to highlight two key players in particular: Kamalei Correa and Tanner Vallejo.
Kamalei Correa committed to the Broncos over numerous Pac12 schools, including Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and Oregon State to name a few. He was listed as a 3-star recruit by Scout, Rivals and 247Sports. Plucked from the backyard of the Rainbow Warriors, he left St. Louis High School to join the Broncos in 2013 and wasted no time seeing the field, forgoing the traditional red shirt his freshman season.
Correa appeared in 13 games for the Broncos in 2013 as a back-up, recording 12 tackles, 1.
