Idaho State’s LB profile is still too thin to call, but the Bengals’ linebacker room is built for competition
Publicly available current stat lines for Josh Sare are sparse, so there isn’t enough verified 2026 production to paint a clean performance picture yet. What stands out instead is context: Idaho State’s linebacker depth is crowded, physical, and versatile, which means any linebacker who earns snaps there has to be assignment-sound, tough, and fast enough to survive a real battle for reps. If Sare is on your radar, the fit question is simple—this is a player worth monitoring for development and special-teams value, not a finished-product eval.
