Malachi Nelson makes three way-too-early football predictions after transferring to Boise State.
Boise State defeated UNLV to win the league championship.Although the Broncos lost to UCLA in their bowl game, winning the conference title is always a reason to celebrate. Next year, this squad hopes to defend its conference title, and quarterback Malachi Nelson, who recently transferred from USC football, will lead the way.
Malachi Nelson has had an intriguing journey to where he is today with Boise State football. Nelson was a member of the 2023 recruiting class since he graduated from high school in that year, and he was the top overall prospect. Not only is he the top quarterback, but he is also the best player in the country. He might have gone anywhere, but he decided to devote his abilities to USC football.
Obviously, USC had Heisman winner Caleb Williams as their primary quarterback this season, thus Malachi Nelson was the backup, but most anticipated Nelson to take over the starting role next season. Williams is going pro, and he is likely to be the first overall choice in the NFL Draft this spring, therefore the starting position at USC will be open next season.
As a result, Nelson’s transfer came as quite a surprise. Many people speculated that it was due to the Trojans’ performance this season, and given Nelson’s status as the previous #1 overall recruit, he appeared to have a plethora of possibilities from prestigious colleges. So when he committed to Boise State football, it surprised many college football fans.
Now that Nelson is a Bronco, Boise State should be a strong team next season. With the expanded playoffs and the assurance of a group of five schools making it, this squad has big expectations, and with Nelson at quarterback, they may be able to meet them.These are three predictions for Nelson’s Boise State career.
Boise State will win the Mountain West conference next season.
Boise State football won the Mountain West this season, and if Malachi Nelson is what everyone expected him to be in college, the Broncos should have the conference’s top quarterback next year. That goes a long way towards capturing the conference title.
Boise State is generally consistently one of the top five teams in the Mountain West, challenging for titles on a regular basis. Next year will be no different, and Nelson has the potential to lead this club to new heights. Boise State will win the Mountain West Conference again next season.
Malachi Nelson will pass 3,000 yards next season.
Teams like Boise State seldom wind up getting the top overall player in a recruiting class, especially if that guy is a quarterback. The Broncos now have one, and they want to take advantage of it. Expect Boise State’s attack to be pass-heavy next year, with Nelson flinging the ball around a lot.
If he is as excellent as people believe, he should be able to handle rival Mountain West defenses and put up some impressive statistics next year. Nelson is expected to have a solid season statistically, with passing yards around 3,000.
Malachi Nelson will lead Boise State into the College Football Playoff.
The College Football Playoff will increase to 12 teams next season, which will benefit several programs. Boise State football is one of them. With the four-team playoff, it is very impossible for a group of five schools to qualify, but the highest-ranked club is assured a position in the new playoff system.
If the Broncos win their conference and finish as the highest-ranked group of five schools, they will qualify for the College Football Playoff. With a quarterback like Nelson, they can undoubtedly reach their aim. Nelson will be a sophomore next season, which means he will be with the Broncos for at least two years. He will take them to the playoffs at least once.
