Cade Alisa brings size-first trench value for Idaho State
In the 2026 season, Idaho State junior offensive lineman Cade Alisa is a big-bodied interior/outside protector at 6-foot-5 and 374 pounds, giving the Bengals real power in the run game and a sturdy anchor in pass protection[2][3][14]. He’s the kind of OL evaluators like because the frame is obvious, the role is clear, and the upside comes from raw mass and developmental runway rather than box-score stats, which are not available for him[3][6]. If a team wants a mauler who can help set a physical tone, Alisa fits; if it needs a polished, finished technician today, he’s more of a projection than a plug-and-play star[1][2].
