Palindrome day! Another day passes, another player on the roster we get to (re)visit. With 77 Days until kickoff we have…

#77, Kage Casey, RS Junior, OL

Stats

Height: 6′ 5″

Weight: 316 lbs

High school: Clackamas HS, Happy Valley, OR

How’d he get to The Blue™?

Literally copy and pasting from last year’s profile:

Mr. Casey was a three-star prospect out of high school when he committed to Boise State. Oddly enough 247Sports only reported two offers, Boise State and Oregon State. He did a good by choosing the correct compliment to Orange: Blue. And not black. Gross.

Nickname

“Francis”

Kage Casey is such a cool and aggressive name, felt like we needed to balance it out with a more calming nickname.

Look-alike

A younger ‘The Walking Dead’ star Josh McDermitt. Maybe if Casey would just learn how to pull off Blue Steel.

Career Highlights

Mr. Kasey is what we like to call “good at football” so therefore he’s got some accomplishments. Which accomplishments? I am going to do another copy/paste job from his athlete profile from Bronco Sports.

  • The Athletic Second Team All-America (2024)
  • Walter Camp Second Team All-America (2024)
  • College Football Network Third Team All-America (2024)
  • Phil Steele Fourth Team All-America (2024)
  • Sports Illustrated Honorable Mention All-America (2024)
  • All-Mountain West First Team (2024)
  • Phil Steele All-Mountain West First Team (2024)
  • Academic All-Mountain West (Fall 2024)
  • The Athletic Second Team Freshman All-America (2023)
  • All-Mountain West Second Team (2023)

So, yeah, he’s good.

2025 Prospectus

Honestly, more the above please. Next year’s profile needs to at least double those bullet points. And nothing bad happening. Ever. Especially given that Boise State no longer has an elite top-6 NFL Draftee carrying the football (this isn’t knocking the rest of the dudes on the roster but, c’mon, they aren’t there… yet?). The o-line is always integral to the success of an offense and/or team. This upcoming season is going to be mission-critical as the pass-game is probably going to need to step up. At least a little bit?

Is he on Twi/X?

Completely made up fact

Much like the pine cone, Kage Casey can tell if it is going to rain. Pine cones close up to moisture. Casey just gets ‘the feeling’.
