ESPN Says Maddux Madsen Is The Most Important G6 Quarterback Heading Into 2026

Boise State's Legacy The Past Couple Of Years

A couple of seasons ago Boise State football took the internet by storm. More specifically a Boise State football player by the name of Ashton Jeanty. The all-star running back made a name for himself as one of the best running backs in college football history. Sadly, all good things must come to an end and that happened last year when he was drafted to the NFL.

Following his departure Boise State still had a pretty good season and won the Mountain West Championship for the third year in a row.

Boise State's New Legacy

With Boise State entering the Pac-12 this is a big season and one Boise State player has all eyes on him...

Maddux Madsen In The Pac-12

For the past few years Maddux Madsen has been Boise State's starting quarterback and as he enters his first season in the Pac-12.

Even ESPN thinks that Maddux Madsen is going to have a major impact. Today ESPN released a list of the 40 most important players in college football in 2026 and at the top of the G-6 schools portion, at number 36 is Maddux Madsen.

With Boise State entering the Pac-12 we hope to see Maddux Madsen lead the school to another Conference Championship and Boise State in the Pac-12 Championship for the first time.

Others mentioned but not making the list were Dylan Riley and Jayden Virgin-Morgan. You can see the full list that ESPN released of the most important players HERE.
