P.J. Blanchard brings size and upside to Idaho’s secondary
The 2026 season profile for Idaho sophomore DB P.J. Blanchard is all about length and upside: at 6-foot-3 and 173 pounds, he gives the Vandals a rangy, lean defensive back with real coverage tools and room to grow. He’s listed as an active sophomore on the roster, but public stat lines and game logs don’t yet show a breakout sample, so the appeal is more projection than production. If you want a tall, athletic DB who can develop into a matchup piece, Blanchard is worth a close look.
