Former COD cornerback Deon'tae Florence will be on the blue turf of Boise this fall.

The Idaho Press-Tribune is reporting that Florence, a redshirt sophomore, is one of two players with desert ties to play for Boise State University this season.  

Florence, listed at 5-10 and 170 lbs, adds depth at a already solid defensive backfield.  Deon'tae is a younger brother of Denver Broncos defensive back Drayton Florence.
