Boise State safety Jon Barry Van Hoogen is an unproven piece in a defense that finished 2024 among the nation’s best at creating havoc
Van Hoogen is listed on Boise State’s football roster, but there are no publicly posted game statistics for him yet, so his current impact is still more projection than production.[5][2] The best context for his fit is the Broncos’ defensive environment: Boise State’s 2024 unit led the nation in sacks and ranked seventh in tackles for loss, which suggests a system that rewards physical, disruptive defensive backs who can handle pressure and play with urgency.[1] He is worth watching as a developmental fit rather than a proven stat-line star.[5][1]
