Eyitayo Omotinugbon – Queen Creek, OL/DL

Queen Creek’s Eyitayo Omotinugbon committed to Boise State on Friday afternoon. 

“As soon as I got to the campus I was just treated with the most amazing hospitality. I loved the entire community and the whole coaching staff!”

The 6-foot-3, 275-pound offensive lineman also participates in track and field in the off-season and clocks a 4.46 40-yard dash. Tayo chose the Broncos over NAU, Columbia, Cornell and Air Force. 

“I have built an amazing relationship with most of the coaches ever since they started recruiting me. During the whole process, I think I had about 5-7 coaches from Boise all reach out and they would say that they were very excited to have me out there. I loved how they treated me as a part of the Bronco family immediately!!”

The staff was so supportive but was very consistent with there approach. The team is surrounded by coaches that have been on the highest level of football and have won, which gives me an opportunity to succeed on the next level.”

Kezion Dia-Johnson – Desert Edge, WR

Desert Edge wide receiver Kezion Dia-Johnson announced his commitment to the University of Massachusetts on Monday afternoon following his campus visit over the weekend. Kezion’s offer from UMass is his most recent, rolling in on May 22

“The coaches definitely showed a lot of love and they reached out to me showing that they could use me. I feel like I’ll fit in right away. The way Coach Casula was showing me how I would be used made perfect sense because I already do those things now. The difference is it’s faster and more detailed at the next level.”
