Who is Justin Stepanian and when (and how) did he join Boise State's

football team?  Maybe I've been asleep or in a coma but I have not heard or seen one word about Justin Stepanian joining the Boise State football team.   He is listed on the Boise State football roster as #48 and as a 6th year Senior transfer from Santa Ana J.C.   He is also listed as a Safety and at 6' 0" 202 lbs.

And as I continue to look at the roster I see another player whose name I am not familiar with.  That being # 37 Cade Manley a RS Sophomore CB out of Aliso Viejo, CA. with no previous school listed for him.  His twitter account mentions he is a walk-on (and I assume Stepanian is also a walk-on).   Manley is listed on the Boise State football roster at 6' 0" 177 lbs.

Manley was a 2021 H.S. graduate of Aliso Niguel H.S. but it would appear that he must have attended another college somewhere but did not play football since he's listed on the roster as a RS Sophomore.

There is also a Long Snapper listed as # 47 named Koby Tryggestad.  Listed as a RS Senior and as 6' 1" 240 lbs.

Apparently Tryggestad was on the Boise State roster in April 2021 (or earlier) as Jay Tust mentioned him as one of three players who had left the Boise State football team in April of 2021.

In scouting the Film from Saturday's Spring Football Game, Justin Stepanian #48 is on the kickoff team. He clearly is down the field ahead of everyone else on kickoff.

What is notable about Justin Stepanian is he makes a touchdown saving tackle at minute 7:24 of the 4th quarter. Stepanian shakes off a blocker and makes an open field solo tackle. Impressive .

Nice comment here.  I wasn't aware that there was a film of the spring game that's available to the public.  Where did you come across that?
