Here we meet again on yet another Tuesday. Going to get some tacos? I think I will. We also crack open a fresh set of numbers with the beginning of the 70s. I am become excite! With 79 Days left until kickoff we have…
#79, Connor Warkentin, RS Freshman, OL
Stats
Height: 6′ 5″
Weight: 277 lbs
High school: Centennial HS, Bakersfield, CA
How’d he get to The Blue™?
Mr. Warkentin came to Boise State as a three-star rated defensive lineman out of Centennial. He was the Defensive MVP of the South Yosemite River League and helped the Golden Hawks make three-straight appearances in the playoffs. Boise State beat out Air Force, Army, Eastern Washington, and Fresno State.
Nickname
“Curly”
Curious how long he’s ever grown his hair.

Career Highlights
He sat out last year but he did do pretty well for himself in high school.
2025 Prospectus
Honestly, I think this is the year that Warkentin makes the field on the OL. Roger Carreon and Mason Rudolph are going to anchor the thing the Broncos have had a rough go of keeping the same consistent line up the whole year. Who knows what the injury situation will look like but five of the 19 OL guys are transfers. Miles Walker, the Ohio State transfer, will probably have something to say about getting playing time as well. All things being equal I am rooting for the best guy to make it on the field. But that does mean someone won’t.
Is he on Twi/X?
Completely made up fact
Connor is a connoisseur of the fragrance game because of his Hyperosmia. Having said that his favorite scent is Creed Aventus.
Typically, it’s in the second year of the program that we start seeing them on the field. If he works hard and minds his Ps and Qs, he’ll contribute significantly in the future. And the future can be sooner than we think.
His Twitter post says Defensive lineman? Did he switch over?
