Jack Nelson gives Idaho State a young, homegrown QB with real Big Sky upside
In the 2026 season, Idaho State sophomore QB Jack Nelson is a 5'10", 170-pound local product from Driggs, Idaho, and his profile suggests a developmental quarterback with mobility and room to grow rather than a finished, stat-stuffed producer[1][2][5]. He stands out as a homegrown, high-upside option in a crowded quarterback room, and his value will hinge on whether his quickness, command, and competitiveness translate against Big Sky defenses—making him a better fit for a staff willing to develop talent than one needing an instant plug-and-play star[1][2][8].
