BOISE, Idaho (Press Release) The Boise State Athletics Hall of Fame Committee announced the 2020 Hall of Fame Class Thursday, a list of former Bronco greats that includes Emma Bates (women’s track & field), Gene Bleymaier (former director of athletics), Ben Cherrington (wrestling), Kurt Felix (men’s track & field), Korey Hall (football) and Luke Shields (men’s tennis).

The 2020 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is tentatively slated to be held Friday, Sept. 4, in advance of the Broncos’ football home opener against Georgia Southern.

Korey Hall (football; 2002-06) The Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2006, Hall, originally from Glenns Ferry, Idaho, helped lead Boise State to an undefeated season and a victory in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl during his final collegiate campaign. He also picked up All-America honors from The Sporting News that season, and was a three-time All-Western Athletic Conference First Team honoree, in addition to picking up honorable mention honors as a redshirt freshman in 2003. Boise State won WAC Championships and made bowl appearances in each of his four seasons as the Broncos’ starting middle linebacker, with Boise State going 46-6 overall and 31-1 in conference play during that stretch. Hall, who would later go on to be named to the WAC All-Decade Team, was also named Academic All-WAC in each of his final two seasons.
