How’d he get to The Blue™?

Ben joins a growing list of players who lined up under center in high school, but have transitioned out to a wide receiver role once they have gotten to Boise State. He was the Idaho State player of the year in 2020, and was an elite dual threat QB. He also had offers to play DI baseball.

Nickname

“Built Ford Tough”

Yeah this one is just too easy.

Look-alike

It’s not perfect, but I really can see Ben being a double in Glory Road… Josh Lucas is the look-a-like today!

Career Highlights

Ben has played in two games in his career, with his Boise State debut coming in 2021.

2024 Prospects

Ben has been around the program for a long time now, and knows the playbook well. There are always places for players that stick it out and work hard, that is a Boise State OKG. Ben will hopefully get some time on the field, as his athleticism is undeniable.

Is he on Twitter?

Completely made up fact

Henry Ford go the idea to name his car brand after Ben. He saw him run and immediately wanted his cars to be associated with something that fast.
