Boise State alumni is blowing up on TikTok [Video]

It's always really cool to scroll through TikTok or any other social media platform and see a social media post about Boise. We've seen an uproar on social media centered around Boise videos that were sometimes good, sometimes bad. Overall, we've been getting a lot of attention on the internet lately.

Not only does Boise blow up random videos every now and then, but this time Boise even started a few internet trends! A few years ago, a graduate's speech at a Boise State University commencement event went viral. People around the world were inspired by the speech and the video's virality doubled as it became its own TikTok sound and trend.

We even saw famous TikTokers visiting Boise! We had a famous TikToker supporting his sister during a Boise State football game, which was really cool to see. There was also a TikToker who visits college stadiums and makes his way to Albertsons Stadium to see if he can go straight on (spoiler alert… he did).

However, one of our alumni would be considered a famous TikToker. Grant Hilde has gained a lot of traction on TikTok for his comedic content that we absolutely love. Grant's (@ghilde on TikTok) comedy skits are very funny to watch and we especially enjoy when he collaborates with fellow TikTokers Brandon and Bryan. Grant has almost 300,000 followers on TikTok who all think he's hilarious and we can't help but agree!
