We are almost a quarter of the way through this thing. Hang in there. Focus. Or, as some might say, “stay on target!” With 78 Days until kickoff —OL Tyler Keinath
#78, Tyler Keinath, RS Senior, OL
Stats

Weight: 322 lbs (+13)
High school: Franklin HS, Elk Grove, CA
How’d he get to The Blue™?
Mr. Keinath comes to Boise State via the transfer portal. He came from Western Illinois (after originally going to American River College, out of high school). He committed back in June 2023. Boise State beat out UNR, U-Mass and a couple of others, but the obvious choice was obvious and now he’s here.
Nickname
“Filipino Flattener”
Taking inspiration from the flag of the Phillipines in his Twitter handle and his role as a distributor of pancake-blocks.
Look-alike
If you squint juuuuuuust right…
He could be a younger (and better looking) Patton Oswalt. But really only if Tyler’s worst day coincided with Patton’s best…
Career Highlights
Played in 10 games last year, started in eight, and played very well. He was an integral part of paving the way for the second most productive rusher in the history of FBS/D1 college football. Some guy named Ashton Jeanty.
2025 Prospectus
He started most of last year and most likely will do so again. Although, this time, with an extra 13 lbs to utilize in service of his “flattening”.
Is he on Twitter?
Yes. Here. @TylerKeinath
Completely made up fact
Keinath once blocked a defender so hard he wound up in the concession stand. Coming back with a sportsmanlike “Good play!” wasn’t sufficient for this particular defender, though. Instead, he returned with nachos and a churro for Tyler, as a show of respect.
Hey, Mom, the movers are here!
