Max Stege is Boise State’s rugged edge setter with upside
In the 2025 season, Max Stege produced 27 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks, showing he’s more disruptive than flashy and very much built for the dirty work on Boise State’s front.[9][12] The Boise State staff has trusted him into a projected starting role, and reporting has highlighted his long climb from Cologne, Germany, to becoming a regular in a playoff-level program—an indicator of toughness, coachability, and steady development.[3][10][13] He looks like a strong fit for a team that values motor, physicality, and edge-setting discipline over pure headline stats.[3][9][12]
