Boise State and head coach Spencer Danielson have found plenty of success on the recruiting trail in June.
The Broncos secured their seventh pledge of the month on Friday when tight end Beckham Hofland of Southern California’s Los Alamitos High School announced his commitment to Boise State.
“I am beyond blessed to announce I have committed to Boise State,” Hofland wrote on X. “Thank you to all of my friends, family and coaches that have supported me throughout my life.”
All glory to Jesus Christ!!!! I am beyond blessed to announce I have committed to Boise State!! Thank you to all of my friends, family and coaches that have supported me throughout my life. #bleedblue @CoachPotter73 @Coach_SD @BroncoSportsFB @LosAlFootball @BrandonHuffman pic.twitter.com/rOJrcMuynj

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Hofland plays tight end, wide receiver and kicker for Los Alamitos. The Griffins finished 6-6 overall last year and qualified for the Southern Section Division II playoffs.
Hofland is rated a three-star prospect and the No. 288 overall recruit in California for the class of 2026 by 247Sports. He chose the Broncos over reported offers from New Mexico, San Diego State, Texas Tech and UNLV, and others.
Hofland is the second class of 2026 tight end prospect to commit to the Broncos.
Back in May, Darren Schmitt of Washington’s Evergreen High School announced his commitment to Boise State. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Schmitt stars both ways in high school but is expected to play tight end for the Broncos.
With the addition of Hofland, Boise State now sits at No. 53 nationally in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings.
Here are the Broncos’ 13 known commitments for their 2026 recruiting class:
Deuce Alailefaleula, defensive line, Bartlett (Alaska)
Jacob Arbuckle II, athlete, Tahquitz (California)

CFB Week 10 winners, losers: November opens with big showdowns
November began with a bang, as top 10 upsets and tight top 25 showdowns defined the day of college football action. Here are Week 10's winners and losers. Winner: Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning The 2023 five-star recruit silenced doubters — at least for one week — with his best game of the season in a 34-31 win over Associated Press No. 9 Vanderbilt (7-2, 3-2 in SEC). Manning was 25-of-33 for 328 yards and three touchdowns, doing most of his damage in the first two quarters as No. 20 Texas (7-2, 4-1 in SEC) built a 24-10 halftime lead. Manning is averaging 337 passing yards per game over his past two games heading into a massive showdown with No. 5 Georgia (7-1, 5-1 in SEC) in Week 12. After a disappointing start to the season, Manning has found a rhythm in time to revitalize Texas's conference title and national championship hopes. Loser: Miami Hurricanes Saturday's 26-20 overtime loss at SMU (6-3, 4-1 in ACC) was No. 10 Miami's ninth in November under fourth-year head coach Mario Cristobal. It also dented the Hurricanes' College Football Playoff hopes, leaving their fate out of their control with four games left in the regular season. With Clemson and Florida State out of the conference title race, Miami (6-2, 2-2 in ACC) had an excellent opportunity this season to assert itself as the ACC's best. Instead, it's decidedly mediocre. Winner: Indiana Hoosiers running backs The Hoosiers juggernaut rolled on in Week 10 with a 55-10 road thumping of Maryland (4-4, 1-4 in Big Ten). The run game led the blowout effort, with Indiana gaining a season-high 367 yards on the ground. Senior running backs Kaelon Black and Roman Hemby and freshman Khobie Martin combined for 278 yards on 43 carries (6.5 yards per attempt) and had seven of the team's nine big rush plays (gains of 10 yards or more). Quarterback Fernando Mendoza has earned a lot of the attention for Indiana's hot start, but the Hoosiers have ascended the college football ranks by being a complete team. With a deep, explosive rushing attack reminded once again why it's among the country's most formidable teams. Loser: Arkansas Razorbacks Cheer up, Razorbacks fans. Arkansas basketball returns on Monday. Because the 2025 football season can't end soon enough. Arkansas blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead in a battle of SEC programs seeking their first conference win, losing to Mississippi State, 38-35, after giving up the winning 18-yard touchdown on a 4th-and-4 conversion with 48 seconds remaining. Mississippi State had to snap its SEC losing streak, which stood at 16 games entering Week 10, at some point, but hasn't Arkansas suffered enough? The Razorbacks have lost five games by six points or less. Barring an upset in one of their last three games, Arkansas will go winless in conference play for the fourth time in 34 seasons as an SEC member, all since 2013. Winner: Ohio State Buckeyes wide receivers Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin has become the betting favorite for the Heisman, although maybe his outstanding pair of wide receivers should split the award instead. Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate both had huge games in a 38-14 win over Penn State (3-5, 0-5 in Big Ten). Smith had six receptions, 123 yards and two touchdowns, while Tate contributed five receptions, 124 yards and a touchdown. Loser: Tennessee Volunteers QB Joey Aguilar No. 14 Tennessee (6-3, 3-3 in SEC) fell out of the College Football Playoff picture with a 33-27 home loss to No. 18 Oklahoma (7-2, 3-2 in SEC). Miscues from Aguilar contributed to the defeat. Despite throwing for 393 yards and three touchdowns, the Appalachian State transfer also threw two interceptions, the first ending a promising Tennessee drive in Oklahoma territory and the second leading to an Oklahoma field goal right before halftime. He also lost 30 yards on four sacks. Aguilar had a tough assignment taking over for Nico Iamaleava after he unexpectedly left the program over an NIL dispute in April, following a 2024 CFP run. While he's had his share of success this season, Aguilar has ultimately been inconsistent enough to keep Tennessee from reaching the same heights in consecutive years. Winner: Arizona State Sun Devils QB Jeff Sims Sims has lived many lives since starting all 10 games as a true freshman at Georgia Tech, although few could be described as good. The sixth-year senior had a disastrous run at Nebraska in 2023 before arriving at Arizona State last season, where he backed up Michigan State transfer Sam Leavitt. Following Leavitt's season-ending injury, Sims got another opportunity to start and kept the Sun Devils alive for consecutive Big 12 championships with a 24-19 win in a rematch of last year's title game. Sims accounted for 405 total yards, including 228 rushing yards, the most by a quarterback in program history. Arizona State has a favorable schedule over its last three games, and while a lot would have to go its way to make it back to Dallas for the second year in a row, stranger things have happened, like Sims saving the Sun Devils' season with an unreal Week 10 performance. Loser: Colorado Buffaloes Despite going 9-4 last season — the program's best record since 2016 — it was fair to wonder how sustainable Colorado's success was with quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman-winning cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter going pro. The answer? It wasn't. The Buffaloes looked as bad as before head coach Deion Sanders arrived to much fanfare in 2023 on Saturday, losing to Arizona (5-3, 2-3 in Big 12), 52-17. Colorado (3-6, 1-5 in Big 12) was undisciplined, committing 14 penalties for 110 yards while also turning the ball over five times, leading to 21 points. It also provided no resistance, with Arizona reaching the end zone on seven of its first 10 possessions, including three sub-two-minute 75-yard touchdown drives. Winner: Disney College football fans with YouTube TV were left scrambling for access to the week's biggest games on Disney-owned channels, including ABC, ESPN and SEC Network (among others), after a carrier dispute took those networks off the television streaming app. The saga was a boon for Fubo, which was the most downloaded entertainment app on Apple's App Store as of early Saturday evening. How does that help Disney? On Oct. 29, one day before its channels were removed from YouTube TV, it finalized a 70 percent acquisition of Fubo, per Deadline. Soon enough, "The Happiest Place on Earth" will also be the only.
Cowboys Activating C Cooper Beebe Among Five Roster Moves
Jon Machota of The Athletic reports the Cowboys are activating C Cooper Beebe off the injured reserve. Machota adds the Cowboys are placing LB Jack Sanborn on injured reserve and signing RB Malik Davis to the practice squad. Dallas is also elevating DB Zion Childress and TE Princeton Fant from the practice squad to the active roster for Week 9 against the Cardinals. Beebe, 24, was a third-round pick by the Cowboys in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Kansas State. He signed a four-year, $5.9 million rookie deal through 2027 and is set to make a base salary of $1,064,987 in 2025. In 2025, Beebe has appeared in two games for the Cowboys and made two starts at center.
Cowboys Announce Exciting Development on Saturday
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are 3-4-1 with a Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on "Monday Night Football." They're looking to bounce back after losing to the Denver Broncos 44-24 last week. Prescott has been explosive through the first eight games. He has thrown for 2,069 yards, 16 touchdowns, five interceptions and a 101.6 passer rating while completing 70.3% of his passes. The Cowboys have put together one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, ranking second in total yards per game (384.1) and second in points per game (30.8). The unit may soon be getting reinforcement, including from center Cooper Beebe. Beebe started the first two games of the season for the Cowboys. However, he hasn't played since suffering a lateral ankle sprain and foot injury in Week 2 against the New York Giants. On Saturday, though, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, head coach Brian Schottenheimer announced Beebe is on track to play against the Cardinals. "Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer says C Cooper Beebe is on track to play against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night," Harris reported. "Hasn’t played since week two when he suffered a lateral ankle sprain and foot injury." After being selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, he has become a consistent figure on Dallas' offensive line. As a rookie last season, he started 16 games, earning a Pro Football Focus overall grade of 65.4. Filling in for Beebe has been fourth-year veteran Brock Hoffman. He's recorded 415 snaps at center this year, committing two penalties and allowing one sack and ranking 29th out of 33 centers with a grade of 56.2. The Cowboys' offensive line has protected Prescott very well. They've allowed just 10 sacks, which is tied for the fourth-least in the NFL. Beebe's return could solidify one of the NFL's top offensive lines, giving Prescott more time and protection in the pocket. Kickoff between the Cowboys and Cardinals is 8:15 p.m. ET Monday at AT T Stadium, airing on ABC and ESPN.
Vikings snap count analysis and notable PFF grades from win over Lions
The Vikings got key contributions from all three phases in a 27-24 upset win over the Lions on Sunday at Ford Field. Let's dive into the week's snap counts and take a look at some notable PFF grades to see what stands out. Vikings offensive snap counts vs. Lions (out of 62) LG Donovan Jackson: 62 RG Will Fries: 62 RT Brian O'Neill: 62 LT Christian Darrisaw: 62 C Blake Brandel: 62 QB J.J. McCarthy: 62 WR Justin Jefferson: 59 WR Jordan Addison: 57 TE T.J. Hockenson: 48 RB Jordan Mason: 37 WR Jalen Nailor: 33 TE Nick Vannett: 27 RB Aaron Jones: 26 TE Ben Yurosek: 17 WR Adam Thielen: 4 OL Joe Huber: 2 It was encouraging to see the Vikings' entire offensive line, including Darrisaw and O'Neill, stay healthy throughout 60-plus snaps. At running back, Jones was excellent in the first half and would've comfortably out-snapped Mason on the day if he hadn't left early in the third quarter with a shoulder injury. Initial reports are that Jones avoided a serious injury and has a chance to play next Sunday against Baltimore. Without Josh Oliver or C.J. Ham, the Vikings turned to Vannett and Yurosek as extra run blockers, and both put in solid performances. Four offensive snaps is a season-low for Thielen, who has played just 24 total over the past three games. Top 5 PFF grades on offense (min. 20 snaps) 1. Jones — 76.6 2. Jefferson — 72.8 3. Brandel — 68.0 4. Jackson — 67.4 5. Darrisaw — 65.7 This checks out. The Vikings' offensive line played well, and Jones and Jefferson were the top two weapons for J.J. McCarthy. Speaking of McCarthy, he just missed this list with a 63.5 grade, which feels pretty fair for how he played. Addison and Hockenson are right behind him, grade-wise. Low grades on the day went to Mason and Fries, but both were still above 55. Vikings defensive snap counts vs. Lions (out of 64) LB Blake Cashman: 64 S Josh Metellus: 64 CB Byron Murphy Jr: 64 S Harrison Smith: 64 OLB Jonathan Greenard: 62 CB Isaiah Rodgers: 61 DT Jalen Redmond: 58 LB Eric Wilson: 56 DT Jonathan Allen: 51 OLB Andrew Van Ginkel: 39 DT Javon Hargrave: 39 CB Fabian Moreau: 24 S Theo Jackson: 16 OLB Dallas Turner: 14 LB Ivan Pace Jr: 13 DT Levi Drake Rodriguez: 11 DT Elijah Williams: 4 This was quite the game for Brian Flores and the Vikings' defense, who made things tough on an elite Lions offense for most of the day. From a snap count perspective, the first thing that jumps out is Redmond playing 91 percent of the snaps. He's legitimately established himself as the best defensive tackle on a team that employs former Pro Bowlers in Allen and Hargrave. Cashman and Wilson were outstanding in this game. Allen made an impact. Hargrave was excellent. And the importance of Van Ginkel simply cannot be overstated. He changes everything. He was limited to playing 61 percent of the snaps in his return to action, but that number figures to rise next week. Van Ginkel's return coincided with Turner playing a season-low 14 snaps. It'll be interesting to see if that continues moving forward. Pace is merely a role player behind the Vikings' top two linebackers at this point, but he can still be effective when used as a blitzer. Stepping into the CB3 role in place of Jeff Okudah wasn't Dwight McGlothern, it was the veteran Moreau, who played well. Top 5 PFF grades on defense (min. 20 snaps) 1. Cashman — 90.8 2. Hargrave — 81.4 3. Van Ginkel — 75.1 4. Moreau — 73.4 5. Smith — 67.4 Cashman was simply fantastic in this game, whether it was in run defense or coverage or as a blitzer on the Vikings' many designed pressure looks with their off-ball linebackers. Hargrave and Van Ginkel were also instrumental in Minnesota's run defense. Moreau and Smith tackled well and were important in coverage. Wilson got dinged a bit for some missed tackles and ended up with a 63.5 grade, but when you watch the tape, he was absolutely everywhere. He had six pressures and two sacks, and even when he missed tackles, the fact that he arrived at the play so quickly helped lead to tackles for teammates. He looked like a star in this game. Lower grades on defense went to Redmond, Rodgers, Murphy, and Theo Jackson.
