Tony Boddie

Tony Boddie (November 11, 1960 – Present)

Tony Boddie played offense and defense for Bremerton High School and was chosen for the state all-star game as a senior. At Montana State he became the starting running back in his second year, and his college career brought conference honors and an honorable mention for All-America. He left college for the new United States Football League, playing for the Los Angeles Express from 1983 to 1985, then for the Denver Broncos in 1986 and 1987. A 2006 Kitsap Sun profile credits him with Denver’s top conditioning honor in two successive years, and he represented Denver as a special teams captain at Super Bowl XXII in January 1988.

After injuries ended his playing career, he finished his business degree at the University of Washington in 1990. He built a long career with Nestlé, rising to regional sales manager, and has volunteered as an assistant football coach at his alma mater, Bremerton High. In 2026 he was inducted into the Montana Pro Football Hall of Fame.
