Rypien began taking classes at Boise State in January 2015; he had enrolled early so he could take part in spring practices. With two-year starting quarterback Grant Hedrick graduating from Boise State it left a hole at the quarterback position. On August 23, at the close of fall practice, Ryan Finley was named the Broncos' starting quarterback and Rypien was left to redshirt for his freshman season.[11]
In the third game of the Bronco's season, against Idaho State, Finley was tackled from behind in the first half of the game breaking his left ankle which would require an eight week recovery time.[12][13] Rypien entered the game in the second half,[10][14] burning his redshirt, and led the offense to scores on each of his four possessions, three touchdowns and one field goal. With Rypien playing in the game, he became the first true freshman quarterback to play in a game for Boise State since 1993.[15]
In Rypien's first three starts of his Boise State career the Broncos averaged over 50 points per game and Rypien averaged over 300 yards in each contest and totaled eight touchdowns.[10] In Rypien's sixth start, against the UNLV Rebels, he set the Boise State record for most passing yards in a game by a freshman besting Kellen Moore's previous mark of 414 yards with 469 yards of his own.[16] In the following game Rypien topped his own record by passing for 506 yards against the New Mexico Lobos.[17] For Rypien's efforts he was named the first-team all-conference quarterback of the Mountain West Conference, becoming the first freshman do to so in the conference's 17-year history. In addition to earning first-team all-conference, Rypien was also awarded by the Mountain West with the Freshman of the Year honors.[18]
Rypien and the Broncos finished the season with a 9–4 record and concluded the season with a record setting win in the Poinsettia Bowl against the Northern Illinois Huskies. Along with the win Brett Rypien also picked up the offensive MVP honor for this performance.[19]

Entering Rypien's second year at Boise State Rypien will be with new coordinators in Zak Hill and Scott Huff after Eliah Drinkwitz left to take a coordinator position at NC State.[20] With the hire of new offensive coordinators, and Ryan Finley returning from a broken ankle, Bryan Harsin stated that there would be an open quarterback competition during spring practices.[21]
On December 27, 2015 Alex Ogle announced his decision to transfer to Arizona Western College. There remained just two other scholarship quarterbacks on the roster entering spring practice competing against Rypien.[22] On April 12, 2016, after the conclusion of spring practices, Ryan Finley announced he would also be transferring to North Carolina State after he graduates in May.[15][23]
