Boise State senior punter Oscar Doyle has turned a routine part of football into a community‑focused fundraiser. For the 2026 season, Doyle pledged to give $50 to St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital every time he punts the ball inside the opponent’s 20‑yard line.

How the pledge works

Last season Doyle recorded 17 punts inside the 20‑yard line. If he matches that effort this year, the hospital will receive at least $850. The donation is tied directly to each successful punt, so every fourth‑down situation could add to the fund.

Personal motivation

Doyle’s commitment stems from a family experience with cancer. The illness touched his loved ones and inspired him to support a hospital that serves children and families facing serious health challenges. Though he hails from Brisbane, Australia, and transferred to Boise State after playing at Weber State, he says the Treasure Valley has become his home.

Community response

Bronco fans have embraced the initiative, seeing it as a way to celebrate a well‑executed punt while helping a local nonprofit. Doyle encourages teammates and other members of “Bronco Nation” to spread the word and consider additional ways to support St. Luke’s.

The partnership highlights how college athletics can intersect with charitable work, offering a tangible benefit to the community beyond the scoreboard. As the season progresses, each successful punt will not only improve field position but also contribute to the health and well‑being of children in the Boise area.

Looking ahead

While Doyle hopes the Broncos win games outright, he also welcomes the chance to see the donation tally grow. Fans can track the contributions throughout the season and celebrate each $50 increment as part of the broader effort to support families in need.
