Boise State’s 6-foot-7 chess piece at WR: Kobe Young brings rare size and a basketball edge
Kobe Young is an intriguing Boise State wideout because his 6-foot-7 frame gives him a massive catch radius and obvious red-zone upside, while his unusual path from basketball to football adds a little wild-card flair. He was a reserve basketball contributor at Boise State before returning to football in 2025, so the biggest question isn’t talent, it’s how quickly his receiver skills translate. If your team wants a developmental mismatch weapon with upside and patience, he’s a fun fit.
