Former Boise Junior College football player Bryant Lemon and his family have donated $1 million to the new Boise State football complex that opens next year. The money was earmarked for the recruiting lounge, which will be called the Bryant Lemon Recruiting Lounge. Lemon, a native of Boise, played for former Broncos football coach and athletic director Lyle Smith in 1953 and 1954, helping BJC to a two-year record of 17-1-1. He is the founder, chairman and CEO of BRYCON Corp. in Rio Rancho, N.M. The company is an industrial contractor. The football complex costs $22 million. Boise State has generated $6 million in donations and more than $5 million in pledges.
