BOISE, Idaho – Boise State placed three football student-athletes on the 2021 All-Mountain West First Team, the conference announced Tuesday.
Sophomore placekicker Jonah Dalmas, redshirt senior offensive lineman John Ojukwu and senior wide receiver Khalil Shakir each garnered the award, leading a baker's dozen Broncos earning all-conference accolades. The 13 selections were the most among Mountain Division schools.
A Lou Groza Award semifinalist, Dalmas has made a school-record 26 field goals, the second-most in MW history. He is the first Bronco placekicker to be named to the first team since Tyler Rausa in 2015. It marks the third-straight year Boise State picked up at least one first-team honor on special teams. Dalmas was All-MW honorable mention last year.
Ojukwu earned his second all-conference award after receiving a second-team nod a year ago. He has started all 12 games at left tackle for the Broncos and has been called for just one penalty this season. Beginning in 2004, with the exception of the 2020 season shortened by COVID-19, Boise State has had at least one offensive lineman named first-team all-conference.
Shakir is a first-team honoree for the second-consecutive season after being honorable mention in 2019. His 1,117 yards receiving rank third in the Mountain West and his 77 receptions are fourth. He is the second Bronco wide receiver to be named to the All-Mountain West First Team in consecutive seasons, joining Thomas Sperbeck (2015-16).
Redshirt junior punt returner Stefan Cobbs, redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Ben Dooley, redshirt junior defensive tackle Scott Matlock, junior safety JL Skinner and sixth-year offensive lineman Jake Stetz were named to the second team.
Redshirt senior wide receiver Octavius Evans, redshirt senior safety Tyreque Jones, fifth-year nickelback Kekaula Kaniho, redshirt senior linebacker Ezekiel Noa and fifth-year linebacker Riley Whimpey earned honorable mention.
Boise State is bowl eligible for the 24th-consecutive season and expects to be invited to a bowl game when selections are announced, Dec. 5.
