Former Boise State commit flips to Big 12 school

A week and a half after announcing his commitment to Boise State, Kilgore College (Texas) defensive lineman Nicholas Igwe changed his mind and flipped to Utah.

The 6-foot-4, 255-pound Igwe recorded 35 total tackles (five for loss) and 2.5 sacks last season for Kilgore College. He announced his change of heart late on Sunday night.

An unranked prospect by 247Sports, Igwe held reported offers from Georgia State, Middle Tennessee, Sam Houston, Temple and Washington State, among others, when he committed to Boise State earlier this month. He will instead head to the Big 12 to play for first-year Utes head coach Morgan Scalley.

Former Boise State wide receiver Chris Marshall also attended Kilgore College after making stops at Texas A&M and Ole Miss.

Marshall, a senior-to-be who transferred to Arkansas, caught 30 passes for 574 yards — ranking second on the team — with two touchdowns during his junior season for the Broncos. His 19.1 yards per reception led the team among players with seven or more catches.

Boise State is sitting on 32 signees for its 2026 recruiting class. Three of the signees are from the junior college ranks.
