Cameron Camper is making the most of the final season of his college career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Boise State wide receiver, who spent the past two seasons at Indiana, leads the Broncos in receptions (25), receiving yards (441), and touchdown receptions (four). He also averages a team-best 17.6 yards per catch, which ranks No. 3 in the Mountain West.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fifth-year senior has emerged as Boise State\u2019s No. 1 wideout \u2013 more so than highly touted transfer Chris Marshall, who was a five-star recruit coming out of high school and joined the Broncos as the top-rated junior college transfer in the country. Marshall has played in just three games and has caught three passes for 13 yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camper is well on his way to having the best statistical season of his career, but he knows better than to allow himself to get complacent after taking the long road to Boise State\u2019s blue turf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just put my head down and work every day,\u201d Camper said. \u201cI know I can\u2019t take anything for granted because it can be taken away at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next passes Camper catches could be big ones. Boise State is off this week, but the Broncos travel to UNLV on Oct. 25 (10:30 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network) for what could be a preview of the Mountain West<\/a> Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n

Humble Beginnings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a senior in high school, Camper wasn\u2019t sure he wanted to play college football. He wasn\u2019t getting recruited by high-level schools, and he considered pursuing other opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a change of heart, he spent two seasons at Trinity Valley Community College in Texas before transferring to Indiana, where he posted a career-best 46 catches for 569 yards in 2022. He struggled with injuries in 2023 and missed spring ball at Boise State this year while recovering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boise State wide receivers coach Matt Miller sat down this summer and watched tape of Camper\u2019s 2022 season. He said the receiver showed the versatility and explosiveness that has served him well this season. He also said Camper\u2019s humble beginnings had a lot to do with his success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe knows the value of hard work,\u201d Miller said. \u201cYou can be the best receiver in the world, but you can\u2019t reach your full potential until you know what it means to sacrifice and work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
