94 is the atomic number of Plutonium. Today marks 94 Days till Boise State football. Coincidence? I think not.

How’d he get to The Blue™?

Mr. Mailoto comes to Boise State by way of Mt. SAC for his true freshman year then two years over at Arizona. According to 247Sprots Mailoto was a two-star athlete out of highschool. Three-star out of JUCO and then a three-star again as a transfer. Deciding on spending his last year with Boise State. Can’t think of a better way to do it.

Nickname

“KM”

Keanu is already a pretty dope name so there really isn’t much to improve there. But an all-time Bronco also shares these initials so I want to put as many good vives out there as I can.

Going to just attribute the way the pictures looked but you could do worse than looking like Ladies Love Cool James.

Career Highlights

Nothing, yet, for the Broncos (growth mindset!) but while at Arizona he played in all 12 games for the Wildcats last year totaling seven tackles.

2025 Prospectus

If there ever was a year to ‘be good’ on defense, this is it. Following the same line of thought as Stege yesterday, Mailoto has a real opportunity here to not only be a leader for the Broncos but also fill some really big Ahmed Hassanein-sized shoes. A lot of Bronco fan-favorites come from the d-line and nothing is stopping that possibility here.

Is he on Twi/X?

Yep. And apparently wants to take advantage of a particular change in NCAA eligibility rules?

Completely made up fact

Because they are supremely social animals, it is illegal to only have one guinea pig as part of your family in Switzerland. This isn’t a problem for Mr. Mailoto as he has a guinea pig rescue in his spare time.
