Just 86 days until kickoff, so might as well look at #86 on the Boise State roster—Chase Blakley

Weight: 237 lbs. (-2)
High School: Coeur d'Alene High School, Couer d'Alene, ID
How'd he get to The Blue™?
Through the persistence of ex-OC Eliah Drinkwitz. Blakley was a seemingly firm UW commit for the better part of a year and hadn't even been offered by Chris Petersen's Boise State staff. Well, after Chris Petersen went to Seattle, Blakley no longer felt he was as highly-prized as was warranted and the incoming Boise State staff made keeping the Northern Idaho stud in-state a major priority.
