The Boise State football team picked up its second verbal commitment from a recruit in as many days on Saturday when wide receiver Zamondre Merriweather joined the Broncos’ 2022 class.

He’s a three-star recruit from Valencia High in Southern California, and he also has scholarship offers from Florida State, Maryland, Colorado State, San Diego State, Fresno State, Utah State and New Mexico.

Merriweather joins a class that also added 280-pound offensive tackle Hall Schmidt on Friday.

At 6-foot-3, 200-pound, Merriweather played wide receiver and safety for Valencia, which fell just short of winning its 12th straight Foothill League championship this spring.

Merriweather is the second wide receiver to join the Broncos’ class — following Keenan McCaddy, who was one of three recruits who committed on June 20 — and he’s the 10th known recruit in the class, which ranks No. 2 in the Mountain West, according to 247Sports.
