High school career
Komar attended Auburn Riverside High School in Auburn, Washington, where he recorded 113 receptions for 930 yards on the football team.[1] Despite earning all-state honors as a senior, he did not receive any scholarship offers and decided to play college football at Idaho as a walk-on.[2]
College career
As a freshman at Idaho in 2005, Komar took a redshirt.[2] The following season, he earned a starting spot and caught 17 passes for 313 yards.[1] After being awarded a scholarship by first-year head coach Robb Akey, Komar emerged as Idaho's leading receiver in 2007, recording 30 receptions for 445 yards and four touchdowns.[1][3] His stats declined in 2008 due to the offense heavily relying on Eddie Williams.[3] In the 2009 Humanitarian Bowl, Komar caught a touchdown with four seconds left, which allowed the Vandals to win the game on a two-point conversion.[4] He finished his final college season with 63 catches for 1,052 yards and 11 touchdowns.[5]
