Logan Brantley is Boise State’s downhill, special-teams-hardened linebacker contender
In the 2026 season, Logan Brantley enters Boise State as a physical, special-teams-first linebacker who could push for a starting job after arriving from Kansas, where he played in all 12 games in 2025 and logged 8 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and an assisted sack. He was praised for a strong summer and appears in the mix to start beside Boen Phelps, with his appeal rooted in toughness, versatility, and a no-frills edge that coaches trust on special teams and in rotational duty. The catch: his résumé is still short on big defensive snaps, so this is more “ascending grinder” than proven star—yet that’s exactly the kind of guy teams love to have in the room.
