The Boise State football team usually lands its quarterback in the current recruiting cycle early, and the Broncos landed a big one Wednesday night.
Hank Bachmeier, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound passer from Murrieta (Calif.) Valley High, announced his verbal commitment after a recruitment that saw attention from across the country.
Bachmeier is one of the most highly-ranked recruits in history to commit to the Broncos — he is rated as the No. 4 pro-style quarterback in the nation by Rivals and No. 8 by 247Sports. He reported offers from Georgia, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Colorado, California and Washington State, among others.
