Boise State’s blocking-first TE with veteran polish and upside
Mitch Bothwell is a 6-4, 245-pound redshirt senior tight end for Boise State in the 2026 season who looks more like a reliable glue guy than a volume receiver. He transferred from Villanova with a track record of being used heavily as an extra blocker, and Boise State’s own roster bio credits him with strong academics and steady development; at Villanova, he played in 21 games and caught just two passes, which screams role player with trench value. If your team wants a physical, experienced TE who can help the run game, Bothwell fits the bill—just don’t expect fireworks downfield.
