Boise State football nabs commitment from 6-foot-5 receiver out of Texas
Boise State has made a concerted effort to sign bigger wide receivers in its recent recruiting classes, and that certainly continued Monday.
DK Blaylock, a 6-foot-5, 180-pound receiver from New Deal (Texas) High, committed to the Broncos after visiting this past weekend. Blaylock had been committed to Iowa State for nearly six months, but he decommitted in December as he opted to not sign in the early period.
Blaylock also had offers from Kansas, Illinois and Southern Miss, among a handful of others. According to 247Sports.com, Blaylock had 52 catches for 1,176 yards and 20 touchdowns as a senior in 2018. He helped New Deal (enrollment of 200) to a 15-1 record, falling to Mason in the Class 2A Division I state championship. Check out his highlights here.
In December, Boise State signed 6-3 Khyheem Waleed and 6-2 Shea Whiting to its receiving corps. On signing day Dec. 19, receivers coach Eric Kiesau said, “We really needed some length in the room, some taller guys.”
The Broncos certainly got another in Blaylock, who can sign Feb. 6. Boise State has approximately a half-dozen open scholarships, though some could be given to walk-ons, like the one junior linebacker Benton Wickersham received last week. There is at least one other recruit who has committed to the Broncos but has not made his decision public.
