Position-by-Position Breakdown

Offense

Boise State attacked the quarterback position with a pair of signees in Cash Herrera and Jackson Taylor. Herrera was previously committed to Indiana while Taylor committed to the Broncos back in June.

The Broncos added two running backs to a talented room featuring Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines.

Wide receiver recruiting was a priority, and Boise State plugged the gaps with Terrious Favors, local product Rasean Jones and rising Southern California talent AJ Logan.

Boise State also added depth to its offensive line room, headlined by offensive tackle Kole Cronin. 247Sports has Cronin rated as a four-star prospect.

To go along with the linemen, the Broncos signed three tight ends who have varying skillsets.

Defense

The Broncos had some major additions to their defensive front in Deuce Alailefaleula and Gustaf Henriks Ras. Alailefaleula, a defensive tackle, was the Alaska MaxPreps Player of the Year while Ras, a native of Sweden, chose the Broncos over numerous Power Four suitors.

Late addition Adam Auston, a high three-star prospect who was committed to Arkansas earlier in the cycle, headlines a solid group of linebackers. Hybrid Rocky Dunn could also be in the mix for early playing time at linebacker.

Madden Soliai, a safety who flipped from UCLA to Boise State, is the Broncos’ highest-rated defensive back signee. Fellow safety Kyle Hall from College of San Mateo may challenge to play next year as the Broncos could lose both starting safeties.

Top Commitments in the Class

Boise State landed a pair of top-tier prospects in offensive tackle Kole Cronin and two-way standout Terrious Favors.

The 6-foot-6, 280-pound Cronin stuck with Boise State after receiving a late offer from Minnesota. He is rated the No. 35 offensive tackle prospect nationally and the No. 3 overall recruit in Nevada by 247Sports.

Cronin’s frame compares favorably to current Boise State left tackle Kage Casey, an All-American who is expected to be an early selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Favors committed to Boise State last January and saw his recruiting stock take off last spring. He turned down offers from Georgia and Wisconsin to sign with the Broncos.

Favors, Boise State’s lone composite four-star recruit, played both ways at the prep level but will join the program as a wide receiver. He will have a chance to earn early playing time for the Broncos.

Recruiting Surprises, Flips & Misses

Quarterback recruiting was a struggle for Boise State during the 2026 cycle.

The Broncos lost three quarterback commits along the way: four-star Bryson Beaver (Oregon), four-star Tradon Bessinger (Iowa) and three-star Jackson Presley (Sacramento State).

Boise State had some notable recruiting wins as Madden Soliai flipped from UCLA to the Broncos in November. Late in the process, Boise State also flipped Davin Hill from UTSA and landed Indiana decommit Cash Herrera.

While the Broncos did secure three of the top eight prospects in Idaho, Boise State could not keep four-star offensive tackle Kelvin Obot (Utah) and three-star prospects Hudson Lewis (Oregon), Preston McDaniel (Utah State), LaGary Mitchell (Utah) and Jax Tanner (BYU) in the state.

Historical Context & Class Ranking

As of late Wednesday morning, Boise State’s signing class ranks No. 52 nationally in the 247Sports class of 2026 composite rankings. The Broncos have the top class among Group of Five programs.

The 2026 signing class is Boise State’s best since securing the No. 55 class in 2019. That class featured current NFLers George Holani (Seattle Seahawks) and JL Skinner (Denver Broncos), both of whom were four-star prospects.

The Broncos ranked 61st nationally last year and 64th for the class of 2024, Danielson’s first two signing classes.
