Maxx Forde’s Idaho edge value came from disruption, not just box-score volume
In his Idaho career, Maxx Forde stood out as a disruptive, high-motor defensive end who paired 74 solo tackles, 9 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles with the kind of heavy-hands, effort-first style coaches love. He was described by Idaho coach Robb Akey as having size, agility, speed, and high character, with “the sky” as his ceiling—classic traits of a reliable edge presence who can fit a disciplined, physical defense. His profile fits a team needing toughness and production more than flash.
