Boise State Football: 5 Recruits the Broncos Must Pursue

Of the five players included in this list, Jalen Greene is the only one that has verbally committed to play for the Broncos.

But as college football fans that follow the recruiting process know all too well, a verbal commitment isn't worth all that much these days.

Greene, who is the definition of a dual-threat quarterback (he passed for over 2,400 yards and ran for over 1,000 during his junior season), is kind of like a Joe Southwick on steroids. He has the speed to be a talent like Colin Kaepernick, yet he insists that he's a pass-first quarterback.

However, because of his ability to escape trouble with his feet, Greene might have the most upside of any quarterback that Boise State has ever recruited.

Green will definitely have a lot of competition at Boise State once he sets foot on campus next January, as Nick Patti will be an upperclassman in 2014 and class of 2013 recruit Ryan Finley will probably be in the mix. Like Greene, both were highly regarded recruits coming out of high school and could be in good position to take over the starting role once Southwick is gone.

But even though Greene appears to be a sure thing as a class of 2014 signee for the Broncos, measures still need to be taken to make sure he doesn't find another offer more attractive. (Currently, Boise State is the only team to make him an offer.)
