Summary
Bryce Boettcher was a quarterback in high school and only joined the Oregon football team in 2022, so his transition to linebacker is relatively new. He is undersized and plays with a high motor. Boettcher projects as a special teams contributor who could push for a starting job.
About
- 2024: Burlsworth Trophy winner (nation’s top former walk-on)
- 2024: Selected in 13th round of MLB Draft by Astros (played at Oregon from 2021-24)
Strengths
- Good acceleration and high motor from sideline to sideline.
- Disciplined eyes to strafe along the line of scrimmage and track the ball carrier.
- Improved as a tackler from 2024 to 2025.
Weaknesses
- Lacks ideal size and length to consistently deconstruct blocks in the box.
- Runs too hot at times and struggles to come to balance in space.
- Eyes linger on play action.

Colts' Bryce Boettcher: Scooped up by Indianapolis
The Colts selected Boettcher in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 135th overall.
Boettcher's athleticism doesn't jump off the page, and he's a little undersized at 6-foot-1, 233 pounds. However, he has the speed to get to ball carriers and proved to have a nose for the football with Oregon, racking up 132 tackles and 1.0 sacks as a senior, adding five pass deflections and an interception to his resume. He'll join a revamped Colts linebacker room that added Akeem Davis-Gaither and John Bullock in the 2026 calendar year via free agency (Davis-Gaither) and waiver claim (Bullock) and CJ Allen as a second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Boettcher likely faces an uphill battle to see regular playing time as a rookie and will presumably be asked to contribute on special teams, but he'll get a chance to prove his worth in camp.
