Joey Nebeker Signs with Boise State

Joey Nebeker, the Idaho 2A State basketball Player of the Year, has signed a letter of intent to play for Boise State.

Nebeker, a 6-foot-7, 210-pound forward from Melba High School, led his team to their first-ever state championship last year and boasts a perfect 4.0 grade-point average.

“The character and work ethic that Joey possesses both on the court and in the classroom was extremely important to us, and it will propel him to a great career,” Bronco head coach Leon Rice said. “He’s a kid that is going to work hard every day to get better, and he will continue to improve.

“We really liked his scoring ability and feel for the game, and we were excited about the opportunity to recruit a high-level local player.”

Nebeker averaged 20 points, seven rebounds and three blocks per game last year.  As a sophomore, Nebeker hit for 20.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game as a sophomore as Melba finished fourth in the state tournament.
