Boise State lands first commitment for 2027 recruiting class

Boise State and head coach Spencer Danielson secured their first commitment from a class of 2027 prospect over the weekend.

Kael Snyder, a three-star quarterback from Arizona’s Perry High School, announced his commitment to the Broncos on X.

“l am extremely proud to announce that I have committed to Boise State University,” Snyder wrote. “I want to thank every coach and player that has helped me along this journey to get to this point. God is good. Go Broncos!”

Snyder is the son of Adam Snyder, a former first-team All-American offensive tackle for Oregon who played in the NFL from 2005-14.
