Idaho’s veteran mauler: Tyrone Novikoff brings captain-level toughness
Novikoff’s value is built on durability, leadership, and line steadiness: at Idaho, he started every game over multiple seasons and was even voted an offensive captain by teammates, a strong sign coaches can trust him when the trench fight gets ugly.

The big question for any team: can he anchor the line and elevate everyone else around him?
