Boise State football coach Andy Avalos doesn’t mince words when it comes to recruiting quarterbacks.
“It all starts with the quarterback,” Avalos said on early signing day last December. “They run the show, and they have to lead on the field and in the locker room.”
Avalos said his goal is for a quarterback to anchor every recruiting class.
CJ Tiller anchored this year’s class. Maddux Madsen, who is the favorite to win the No. 2 job this year, was one of the highlights of the 2022 class.
Taylen Green, who was named Mountain West Freshman of the Year last season, led the 2021 class.
The Broncos now have their guy in their 2024 class.
I am very excited to announce I am COMMITTED to Boise State University! Thank you to my teammates and coaches @CDMFOOTBALL for making this dream possible! @BroncoSportsFB @BushHamdan @AABroncoHC @D_Co0p @kyleyoung_BSU @Khettoc @NickStarkel @GregBiggins @adamgorney @247Sports pic.twitter.com/DNDFwtFMES

He also has a scholarship offer from Princeton. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound three-sport athlete is the only 2024 quarterback that Boise State offered during this recruiting cycle. Annett also plays basketball and runs track at Corona Del Mar.
He wasn’t Corona Del Mar’s starting quarterback last season. He backed up David Rasor, who is now at UC Davis. Despite limited playing time, Annett still racked up 1,412 yards and 11 touchdown passes.
