Kellen Moore Named Male Student-Athlete of the Year in the WAC

Quarterback Kellen Moore was named the 2009-2010 Western Athletic Conference Jeo Kearney Award winner as the outstanding male student-athlete in the WAC.

The award, which is given annually to the top male & female student-athlete in the conference, is named in honor of former WAC Commissioner Joe Kearney who guided the league from 1980-1994.

Moore is just the 2nd Bronco to win the award.  Two-time NCAA National Champion javelin thrower Gabriel Wallin also earned the award for the 2004-2005 season.

This past season, Moore guided the Broncos to a perfect 14-0 record, including a victory over TCU in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. He earned first-team All-American honors from ESPN.com, SI.com and CBSSports.com, finished seventh in the voting for the Heisman Trophy and was named the WAC Offensive Player of the Year. He set the NCAA single-season record for the lowest percentage of passes intercepted at 0.69 percent, throwing just three picks in 431 attempts. On the season he completed 277 of 431 passes for 3,536 yards and 39 touchdowns.

"Kellen is the type of student-athlete we strive to recruit to Boise State,” Boise State Director of Athletics Gene Bleymaier stated. “He does an excellent job in the classroom, is outstanding on the playing field and represents the University in a first class manner. I don't think we could ask for anything more from out student-athletes.”
