Another one! Class of 2026 Idaho prospect commits to Boise State

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Brekke is a two-time first-team all-Southern Idaho Conference selection. 

As a tight end/wide receiver hybrid, Brekke caught 49 passes for 611 yards and one touchdown last year. Owyhee finished 5-4 overall and narrowly missed out on qualifying for the Class 6A state playoffs. 

Brekke, a three-star prospect, is rated the No. 5 overall player in the state of Idaho by 247Sports and the No. 62 tight end recruit nationally. He chose the Broncos over reported offers from Idaho, Nevada and Portland State. 

Of Boise State’s 14 known verbal commitments, Brekke is the lone in-state product. 

Meridian High School linebacker LaGary Mitchell, 247Sports’ No. 3 prospect in Idaho, committed to Boise State last October but flipped to Utah earlier this month. Mitchell is the nation’s No. 74 linebacker recruit in the 247Sports rankings. 

Boise State now has commitments from three class of 2026 tight ends: Beckham Hofland (California’s Los Alamitos High School), Darren Schmitt (Washington’s Evergreen High School) and Brekke. 

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Hofland, also a three-star prospect, is rated the No. 288 overall recruit in California for the class of 2026 by 247Sports. He chose Boise State over reported offers from New Mexico, San Diego State, Texas Tech and UNLV, and others. 

Another three-star prospect, the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Schmitt is the No. 14 overall prospect in Washington in the 247Sports composite rankings. He committed to the Broncos over reported offers from Arizona, California and others. 

Boise State uses a tight-end heavy offense with returners Matt Lauter and Matt Wagner.
