BOISE CITY — Boise State running back Dylan Riley is one of 18 semifinalists for the Maxwell Award, the Maxwell Football Club announced Nov. 10. Three finalists will be announced Nov. 24, and the winner of the 90th award will be revealed Dec. 11.

Boise State says the junior leads the nation in rushing yards (1,241), rushing yards per game (137.9) and all-purpose yards (1,547). He leads the Pac-12 with 11 rushing touchdowns. He is the only Group of Six player among the semifinalists, and one of two running backs, with Duke's Nate Sheppard. Ashton Jeanty, a Boise State back, won the award after the 2024 season.

Boise State also collected three Pac-12 weekly honors after its 64-38 win at Colorado State. Riley was named Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this year after 300 all-purpose yards. Wide receiver Terrious Favors earned Special Teams Player of the Week, and wide receiver Rasean Jones was Freshman of the Week for the third straight week.

Boise State (8-1, 5-0 Pac-12) hosts Oregon State (5-4, 3-2) on Nov. 14 at 4 p.m. on The Blue, after ESPN's College GameDay. Sources: Riley named semifinalist; Pac-12 weekly awards.
