Davis Thacker brings size, versatility, and special-teams value to Boise State's linebacker room
In the 2024 season, Davis Thacker played in one game for Boise State, preserving his redshirt after transferring from Golden West College; the year before, he showed real production at the junior-college level with 38 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, and five pass breakups in nine games. At 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, he fits the modern, rangy linebacker mold and brings a background as a former high school receiver, which hints at coverage comfort and athletic upside. For a team, he looks like a developmental defender with length, effort, and special-teams potential—more upside swing than instant headline act.
