Former Boise State Basketball Player Kobe Young Returns as Football Wide Receiver

Kobe Young, a former Boise State basketball player, is making a rare transition back to Boise State as a wide receiver for the football team. Young, who previously played basketball for Boise State and Cal State Fullerton, was a three-star wide receiver prospect in high school and has not played football in five years but impressed coaches during a recent workout, earning a football scholarship. This move comes as Boise State faces a shortage of experienced wide receivers after losing key players to transfers and the NFL. Additionally, Boise State added Rayzhon Bergersen, son of assistant coach Roberto Bergersen, as a basketball transfer alongside other portal additions like Dylan Andrews and Drew Fielder, strengthening the Broncos' basketball roster. Young’s return highlights the Broncos’ need to bolster their football receiving corps while also showcasing notable basketball transfer activity. Overall, Boise State is actively reshaping its football and basketball teams with strategic player returns and transfers.
