Chris Van Sickle Boise State Recruiting Expert Blue Print/Vision Director
I am a BSU Bronco fan to the core. I was born in Boise and grew up in Eagle. I attended Eagle High School where I played offensive line for a couple of years. After graduating, I briefly attended Boise State but at the age of twenty I became a father, and life took him in a different direction. I began a career as a correctional officer and worked at the prison for eight years before I decided I needed a change. I then joined the Ada County Courthouse and am currently a deputy jury commissioner for Ada County. My beautiful wife Missy and I have been married for 5 years. We have an amazing daughter, Ellie, and a studly but stubborn son named Grayson. My family is the light of his life. I began writing for 247 Sports specifically covering Boise State men’s basketball in 2022. I then helped start a podcast and became a credentialed media member in the last year. Most specifically I pride myself on covering Boise State recruiting, both football and basketball.
In my spare time I enjoy playing with my kids, riding bikes, lifting weights, playing (winning) board games with my family, and attending church.
