Jon Helmandollar

I've been a big fan of Boise State for the past couple of years and was shocked to see that Helmandollar is no longer listed on thir roster for the upcoming season.


This guy was a stud last year as a freshman and I know was lauded on this site. Does anyone knows what happened? Did he transfer?


He was one of the few white running backs at the1-A level that gota chance to play regularly.


This certainly takes away from my zest for Boise State, although Iknow they still field one of the more caste friendly teams.

He's in the media guide on their website. If something happened it must have happened recently. I would be surprised if something had and we hadn't heard about it.

I just checked the team's site at broncosports.com and Helmandollar isn't listed on the roster.

Here's an article from July 29 that mentions Helmandollar as a key player on Boise State's '05 team:

Key players: Sophomore QB Jared Zabransky, senior RB Lee Marks, senior RB Jeff Carpenter, sophomore FB <B style="COLOR: black; : #ffff66">Jon Helmandollar[/B], junior WR Drisan James, senior OT Daryn Colledge, junior LB Korey Hall, junior CB Gerald Alexander.


It figures: <B style="COLOR: black; : #ffff66">Jon Helmandollar[/B], a 227-pound sophomore fullback, led Boise State in rushing touchdowns with 14 last season. His TD percentage was exceptional considering he had 46 carries.

Thanks for the article. But this must be a very recent development. If you check the team's official website, # 23 is listed as CB Quinton Jones and Helmandollar is no where to be found.

Defensive tackle Nick Schlekeway and tight ends Derek Schouman and Sherm Blaser currently play for <B style="COLOR: black; : #ffff66">Boise State[/B]. Running back and Eagle graduate <B style="COLOR: black; : #a0ffff">Jon Helmandollar[/B] has left the team for personal reasons but is expected to return.

Thanks so much for the information. I hope Helmandollar can make it back some time this year.
