How’d he get to The Blue™?

I was able to suss out that he was a preferred walk-on to Oregon State and was there for the 2022 season. About how he got to Boise, though, I have no idea. There’s no record I can find of how he got here, if he’s on scholarship…nothing. The man’s transition to Boise must be a state secret. Which state though? Oregon or Idaho?
