Boise State’s rising center with starter upside
Taufa is trending toward a major 2026 role for Boise State, with multiple outlets projecting him as the Broncos’ starting center after he played in three games in 2025 and preserved his redshirt. At 6-foot-1 and 302 pounds, he brings the compact, sturdy build Boise State wants inside, plus a background at Bishop Gorman that suggests he can handle big-game pressure. He has also earned a 2026 Polynesian Player of the Year Watch List nod, which fits the profile of a high-upside, power-first lineman who looks ready to become more than just a depth piece.
