Amidst the chaos of transfer portal season Boise State quietly nabbed their fourth high school commit of the 2025 class in Link Year forward Bhan Buom Buom transferred to the prestigious Link Year Academy in Missouri to finish out his high school career The school has a long track record of producing NBA talent including first-round pick Ja’Kobe Walter and NBA Champion Jordan Walsh and the Broncos will hope to see similar results out of Buom Buom comes to the Broncos as a three-star recruit and the 12th-ranked recruit in the state of Missouri He’s a 6-7 wing with length and athleticism to spare something the Broncos were sorely missing this past season on the perimeter but excelled at getting downhill and getting to the basket Elite speed meant Buom blew by most bigger wings that tried to guard him and when a defender actually stuck with him Buom’s size allowed him to finish over and around defenders when attacking the basket His lateral movement and length are rare at the high school level meaning most teams didn’t even try to beat him off the dribble When courageous players did try to get to the basket on him Buom showed good recovery instincts that led to chase down blocks the offensive game is still unrefined and likely not ready to contribute day one he will likely need to add 10 pounds of muscle to hold up against college wings The tools are there for Leon Rice to mold Buom into a special player but it will probably be a year or two before Bronco Nation gets to see him shine on the court Development in college basketball is rare these days if players don’t get the playing time they want within a year or two they often hit the portal for “greener” pastures Boise State is getting a potentially special player Guys with his length and athleticism are hard to find his skillset as a lengthy scoring wing and lockdown defender reminds me of former Bronco Abu Kigab While his commitment process may not have had the publicity or glamor of some of the other members of this 2025 class I think Buom’s inclusion gives the Broncos a prospect with legitimate NBA upside with proper development but few coaches at the mid-major level have had more success than Leon Rice at maximizing a player’s offensive skillset You must be logged in to post a comment Bronco Nation News is your source for the best coverage of Boise State Athletics including breaking news Tweets by BNNBroncoNation Rains is a three-time winner of the NSMA Idaho Sportswriter of the Year Award He covered Boise State Athletics for the Idaho Press from 2013 to 2021 before leaving to create Bronco Nation News who was a voter in the Associated Press Top 25 men’s college basketball poll from 2014-2021 also makes weekly appearances on KTIK 93.1 FM each Friday at 4 p.m there are few things that residents love more than craft beer we'd definitely have to say that DOGS make the cut It seems that everyone in the Boise area is a dog lover or a dog owner more and more patios and area restaurants fill up with folks...but what about dogs Let's take a look at some of the most popular places and patios for local dog owners dog-friendly patios or destinations?  There's no denying the fact that dog owners love a place to take their pet while they enjoy a bite or a drink that is brought to just about any business when there's an adorable dog present is unparalleled We understand that not everyone loves dogs...or patios be on the lookout for our next guide that we plan to take to the next level (literally) Boise is home to some great rooftop options as well...and we're going to map them all out for you check out these great patio options for humans Dogs love patios too!\nRead More 12vs2Utah State Photo by: Kenna HarbisonSenior Day Sweep for Boise State5/3/2025 5:24:00 PM | Softball © 2025 Boise State University Athletics Accessibility Statement On3 is a registered trademark of On3 Media Ahmed Hassanein spoke almost no English when he moved back to the United States from Egypt in 2018 and overcoming that language barrier helped fuel his rise as an NFL draft prospect Boise State defensive coordinator Erik Chinander said Hassanein, a sixth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in last week's draft, took things so literally while learning the language it made him one of the Broncos' best run defenders we just beat it into him that you got to earn the right to rush to passer," Chinander told the Free Press in a phone interview this week "If you say that to some kids and they're like 'We are going to earn the right to rush to passer right here.' So he enjoys the run game." More: What Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes said about 2025 NFL draft class and what it means Hassanein, who led Boise State and ranked second nationally with 22 sacks the past two seasons, was Pro Football Focus' 52nd-ranked defensive end in college football last season but 39th against the run He played as Boise's field-side defensive end the bigger of the two edge-setters in the Broncos' defense and earned a PFF run grade of 80.3 while making 48 tackles "He's violent in the run game," Chinander said He's got really good footwork in the run game The Lions return their top three defensive ends from last season in Aidan Hutchinson but Hassanein could vie for a backup role on the edge this fall having played just six seasons of organized football − two in high school and four at Boise State the Broncos' defensive line coach and defensive run game coordinator the past two seasons said Hassanein is just scratching his potential as player "He wants to do exactly what you say and it was kind of cool cause some people are a little afraid of some of the international guys cause it's going to take them a while And not to say that we know everything about football His new coaches may coach him a little differently but he wanted to do exactly what we told him to "The only thing you got to be careful of is he is going to do exactly what you say and he's going to write down everything you say." A CrossFit athlete who dabbled in martial arts in Egypt before moving to America to live with his brother as a high school sophomore Hassanein had to learn some of the basics of defensive line play like how to disengage from a block and how to properly strike a sled once he got to college Hassanein spent hours on his own trying to replicate practice techniques "until he feels like he's got it well enough to perform the next day in front of his teammates." Lions general manager Brad Holmes praised first-round pick the team's first-round pick, Tyleik Williams, as one of the two most instinctive defensive tackles in this year's draft Hassanein doesn't have nearly the same instincts given his inexperience but Chinander said Hassanein's big sack totals the past two years − 12.5 in 2023 and 9.5 last fall - are a product of his growing understanding of the game "I think the biggest thing for him is like when you're coming out of high school and a lot of kids have played a lot more football than him but when they hear you're the contain rusher sometimes in high school it's like now you're going to rush outside this tackle," Chinander said "He's really started to figure out knowing the set line I have to contain the quarterback so I can take what this guy gives me So I think that that's a thing that's constantly evolving with him." Chinander said Hassanein favors speed-to-power moves using his long arm to drive back tackles and leaning on a "pretty good" double-swipe − hand techniques that translated easily from his CrossFit and martial arts background − to defeat pass blocks A former assistant defensive line coach with the Philadelphia Eagles Chinander compared Hassanein to ex-Eagles and Indianapolis Colts defensive end Trent Cole a violent edge-setter against the run who lacked the twitchiness and bend of some of the league's best pass rushers but still had 90.5 sacks in his 12-year career "I think the Lions are going to get a guy that can help them probably early," Chinander said "But I think he's going to be one of those guys that there's going to be a bunch of guys that probably got drafted higher that won't last even a fraction of what his career will be."

Hassanein took solace in sports including breakdancing He became the top-ranked CrossFit athlete in Egypt and one of the best in Africa It also helped him cultivate a strong work ethic who was 30 at the time and making his first trip to Egypt in 20 years After hearing from his siblings that night -- June 26 2018 -- Besch started formulating a plan to get Hassanein what if he came and lived with me and played football for me?'" said Besch who coached at Loara High School in Anaheim who was set to attend Riverside Preparatory and it's going to be one of the most difficult things you've ever done because the culture shock is going to be there you can't speak English very well,'" Hassanein said During a family vacation at a resort on the Red Sea later that week Besch helped convince their father to let him move away 7,500 miles Fast-forward to today and -- despite initial language barriers, lack of football knowledge and playing the sport for the first time as a sophomore in high school -- Hassanein is on the verge of becoming the first Egyptian to be drafted into the NFL. ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller has the former Boise State defensive end "It was surreal to think that we just dreamed this to save Ahmed and get him to the U.S. like 'Project Mission: Get Ahmed to the U.S.,' and then it was 'Mission: Get Ahmed into College,' and now it's 'Mission: Get Ahmed into the NFL,'" Gigi said from her apartment in Cairo "But it's all surreal because who would've thought that Ahmed would be great at being a defensive lineman in American football when literally seven years ago he was just sitting on the balcony praying that someone would .. Ahmed Hassanein had scholarship offers from Fresno State Kansas and Colorado before eventually choosing Boise State. Troy Wayrynen-Imagn ImagesTHE CULTURE SHOCK was real for Hassanein when he moved in with Besch in August 2018 Everything from the food to the language to school was different All Hassanein knew about the sport was what Besch had posted on social media most recently playing in a second-tier Austrian league from March to June 2018 "People run and hit each other," Hassanein recalled explaining everything from how to put on his pads helmet and mouth guard to the sport's rules "Everything from line of scrimmage to downs to your role and responsibility on the defense," Besch said "And I don't think everything was explained explicitly because you don't ever go back and explain the X's and O's in high school Hassanein didn't know how to get in a stance or how to catch a ball His school's football program was in one of the lower levels in California and didn't have the resources other schools around them had Each coach was in charge of multiple positions and most of the kids didn't play football before ninth grade because there wasn't a youth program in the district "It's like the kid got pulled off of Mars and started playing football," Olson said Olson saw the potential in the 16-year-old sophomore at defensive tackle on the junior varsity team for the first game of the season before moving him up to varsity "The journey that dude made and the guts that he had to do the things that he did to get to where he is Hassanein's high school coach. Photo by Marc Sanchez/Icon SportswireHassanein had at least one penalty every game because of his unfamiliarity with the rules There was a game in which he grabbed a quarterback's face mask to bring him down and another in which he tripped the quarterback kicking people and flipping them like in jiujitsu "I was out there just doing whatever," Hassanein said In fall 2018, Hassanein was watching highlights of former Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald "What high school does he go to?" Hassanein asked his brother that's the National Football League.' I was like you know you don't have a D-line coach at your high school and you don't have a sled?'" he devised a plan: Hassanein began waking up at 5 a.m he'd go to practice -- either football or basketball depending on the season -- and then go back to the gym for three to four hours a night Everything started to click for Hassanein midway through his sophomore season Olson and defensive coordinator Jonathan Rangel decided was to let Hassanein's natural strength make up for whatever technique he lacked where he was facing -- and outplaying -- prospects from top high school programs around Southern California such as St Hassanein studied pass-rush moves on YouTube and implemented them the next day Colleges noticed the three-star pass rusher as his senior season was postponed until the spring because of the COVID-19 pandemic Hassanein received a direct message from Spencer Danielson Besch played football with Danielson at Azusa Pacific University Hassanein relayed that information to Danielson and they hopped on a Zoom call to explain the situation Hassanein had scholarship offers from Fresno State Kansas and Colorado before eventually choosing Boise State Had Hassanein's life followed his initial plan of going to military school he thought he'd return to Egypt after four years he was living out a dream he never knew he had "It meant the world to me that somebody believed but it gave me confirmation that I can do this," Hassanein said "I took it as a challenge because I had a lot of family members say How the hell are you going to play football?' Boise State's Ahmed Hassanein had 9.5 sacks in the 2024 season. Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesDANIELSON STOOD OUTSIDE Boise State's football facility on a June morning in 2021 with a hope and a prayer neither Danielson nor any of his coaches were able to recruit Hassanein in person so the first time they met him was when he stepped out of the car that day Sitting in the back of Danielson's mind was the fact that Besch was 5-foot-8 "I'm waiting for him at the front of the facility like Please be 6-3,'" Danielson recalled to ESPN "If he pops out and he's 5-9 and Cory got me "And he pops out and he just looks like a Greek god Hassanein looked like some of the Broncos' juniors and was lifting more weight than a number of the upperclassmen Boise State edge coach Jabril Frazier said "He didn't know what was going on," Frazier said Danielson's way of rectifying that was with his "Football School," a weeklong program leading into fall camp for all of Boise State's incoming freshmen It covered everything from the width of the field -- 53.3 yards -- to the verbiage Boise State's coaches prefer to the fundamentals of tackling to A he relied on his natural ability to dominate He had to account for how the offensive lineman across from him lined up and blocked in every possible scenario and what kind of offense he was facing on a weekly basis It was essentially Football 101 for Hassanein Hassanein finished with 12.5 sacks and was mentioned among the nation's best pass rushers he was coming off labrum surgery and spent the spring watching his own film and breaking down his games while he rehabbed "I currently have him projected as a late fifth- to early sixth-round pick as teams are always looking for pass-rush help," ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid said "Hassanein will likely be a part of special teams early on during his career while he searches to earn a role as a contributor on defense." Hassanein is on the verge of making international history it will be an emotional moment for those who helped him on the journey but he says he thinks his strength will help him become a disruptive pass rusher at the next level Danielson described Hassanein as "one of the most violent run defenders we've ever had here," pointing to the Broncos' first defensive play of the Fiesta Bowl against Penn State It was first-and-10 from the Nittany Lions' 28-yard line when Penn State tight end Tyler Warren went in motion from left to right, overloading the side closest to Hassanein. It was a run and, with a running start, Hassanein bulldozed Warren back four yards, throwing him to the ground in the process. To Danielson, that play is everything teams need to know about Hassanein. "Once he gets there, he's going to be all over the coaches about being better, getting better, getting help," Frazier said. "Give him a year to two years in the NFL and you'll be hearing his name a lot."
