Fifteen years after quarterback Kellen Moore last suited up for Boise State and two years since running back Ashton Jeanty’s Heisman Trophy runner-up campaign, the Broncos are honoring the two greatest players in program history on their iconic football field.

Boise State is painting the numbers of Moore and Jeanty onto the blue surface at Albertsons Stadium, but not in the way most would expect. Instead of putting a “2” and an “11” on the field, the Broncos spray-painted the hashmarks at the two-yard line and 11-yard line orange on opposite ends.

Moore and Jeanty are the first two players to receive the spray-paint honor in Boise State football history. Neither player’s number has been officially retired, as the Broncos have only hung up Jim McMillian’s No. 12 in the stands.

Although Moore never panned out in the NFL, he is unquestionably the greatest quarterback in Boise State history, and arguably the best in college football during his four-year career. The six-foot gunslinger is the team’s all-time leading passer with 14,667 career passing yards and 142 touchdowns.

Since his playing career ended, Moore quickly became one of the best young offensive coaches in the game. It did not take long for the New Orleans Saints to give him his first head coaching opportunity in the 2025 offseason. He is the only Boise State alum to become an NFL head coach.

Jeanty, however, is the most explosive Bronco of all-time. The fan-favorite running back accumulated 4,769 rushing yards and 50 rushing touchdowns in just three years in Boise, the most in school history. No player has ever made the game look like a real-life version of someone playing EA College Football on rookie mode more than Jeanty.
