Boise State adds transfer portal offensive lineman from future Pac-12 rival

The college football transfer portal window closed on Friday, but Boise State isn’t done adding players from the portal.

The Broncos announced the signing of former Oregon State offensive lineman Zander Esty on Saturday.

The 6-foot-4, 299-pound Esty appeared in all 12 games for the Beavers last season, logging 174 snaps as a reserve. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

Esty could play against his former team next season as Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State are all leaving the Mountain West for the Pac-12 this summer.

A three-star recruit coming out of California’s Placer High School, Esty was rated the No. 72 interior offensive lineman prospect nationally and the No. 94 overall player in California for the class of 2023. He signed with Oregon State over reported offers from California, Fresno State, UNLV and Washington State, among others.

Earlier this month, the Broncos signed Colorado State-Pueblo offensive tackle Tyler Ethridge from the transfer portal. Ethridge is a candidate to take over for Kage Casey at left tackle.

Boise State returns two starters on the offensive line: seniors-to-be Roger Carreon (right guard) and Daylon Metoyer (right tackle). Casey declared for the NFL Draft while Zach Holmes and Mason Randolph are both out of eligibility.
