Cutter Boley is a top 50 recruit in America and the third-best quarterback in the 2025 recruiting class. In just his second high school football season, he led the state in passing yards. He’s still got a lot of work to do if he wants to become the best athlete in his family.

His big sister, Erin Boley, was a star on the hardwood for Elizabethtown High School. The sensational scorer helped E-Town reach three straight Sweet 16s from 2014-16. During her final season she averaged 20.7 points, 10 rebounds, 4.8 steals, 3.1 assists and 1.4 blocks per game.

Erin Boley was Kentucky Miss Basketball in 2016. Not only was she the best high school girls basketball player in the state, she was the best in the country. Maya Moore surprised her with a piece of hardware during school as the Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year.

Erin Boley was a McDonald’s All-American and the No. 5 girls basketball recruit in America, according to ESPN. She also shared MVP honors from the Jordan Brand Classic. She signed to play for Notre Dame and won a conference tournament and regular season title. After only one season she transferred across the country to Oregon.

During her three-year run in Eugene, Erin Boley became one of the program’s most prolific three-point shooters. In her first season she led the PAC-12 in three-point shooting and helped the Ducks reach their first ever Final Four. Boley surpassed the 1,000-point threshold and finished ranked fourth in school history in both three-pointers made (219) and three-point field goal percentage (.429). In one game against Washington, she knocked down 8-of-12 three-pointers to light up the Huskies for 28 points. She later one-upped that with nine against UW.

Oregon was a winner with Boley in the starting lineup. She started in 94 games, missing only one game due to injury. During her tenure the Ducks won three-straight PAC-12 regular season titles and two conference tournaments. As a senior in 2021 she was named PAC-12 Honorable Mention and helped Oregon reach the Sweet 16 for a fourth straight season.

To be frank, Erin Boley is a badass. Little brother Cutter has his work cut out for him if he wants to surpass his sister’s lofty athletic achievements. If he does ultimately achieve sibling bragging rights, we’ll be hearing Cutter Boley’s name called in the first round of the NFL Draft.
