Janari Boone is a disruptive, high-motor safety with playmaking upside for Idaho State
Boone looks like a physical, reliable Idaho State safety whose value goes beyond tackles: in 2024 he posted 39 total tackles, added two sacks, and scored on a scoop-and-score, showing he can close fast and finish plays around the ball.[5] ESPN listed him as an active sophomore safety with a full 2024 log, including a season-high nine tackles against Oregon State, which points to a player trusted in tougher matchups.[1][2] For a team, he fits best as an energetic secondary piece who brings effort, toughness, and splash-play potential.[5]
