Two Boise State linemen make list of top draft-eligible prospects

Boise State offensive linemen Kage Casey and Mason Randolph were selected to the Senior Bowl Top 300 list, the organization announced on Wednesday. 

The Senior Bowl Top 300 is a list of the top draft-eligible prospects in college football.

Casey, one of the highest-rated offensive tackle prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft, started all 14 games at left tackle last season as the Broncos finished 12-2 overall, captured a second straight Mountain West title and rea ched the College Football Playoff for the first time in program history. 

With Casey anchoring the line, Boise State had one of the country’s best offenses during the 2024 season. The Broncos ranked fifth nationally in scoring offense (37.3 points per game) and eighth in total offense (466 yards per game) and rushing offense (240.4).

Casey, a junior, has received preseason All-America honors from four publications and is on the watch lists for the Outland Trophy (nation’s top interior lineman) and Lombardi Award (top lineman or linebacker).

Randolph, a senior center, suffered a biceps injury in last year’s season opener against Georgia Southern but returned to the field in late November. He started in the MWC championship game and the Fiest a Bowl. 

Casey and Randolph both made the preseason all-MWC team. 

Four other MWC players were selected to the Senior Bowl Top 300 list: quarterback Walker Eget (San Jose State), tight end John Michael Gyllenborg (Wyoming), cornerback Chris Johnson (San Diego State) and edge rusher Trey White (San Diego State).
