If QB1 is out

Maddux Madsen

GIE projects a 0.6 rating drop and a 2.3pp shift in playoff probability if Boise State loses its QB1 for an extended stretch. (n=3 historical samples; pooled across recent seasons.)

Returning production · 2026

71 score

  • Quarterback 100% (3/4)
  • Offensive line 62% (13/21) players
  • Skill (RB/WR/TE) 55% (15/28)
  • Front 7 (DL/LB) 63% (17/28)
  • Secondary 32% (14/21)
  • Special teams 100% (3/7)

Share of last season's production each unit returns. Higher means more continuity: 70%+ is healthy, 45–70% a normal rebuild, under 45% a major turnover.

Portal additions · 2026

−0.9 rating

10 proven transfers in, carrying the production below from their prior school.

Boise State incoming transfers
Player From Impact
JeRico Washington Jr.DB From Kennesaw State Kennesaw State 117

Impact scores offensive skill additions (QB/RB/WR/TE) — prior-season production normalized within position (100 ≈ a 90th-percentile producer at that spot) and discounted for non-FBS competition, so a top back counts alongside a top quarterback. Defensive and O-line additions count as transfers but aren't box-score measurable, so they carry no impact score. The rating figure is this class's portal contribution vs. the FBS average, capped at ±2.5.
