Bronco Football Team Gets Commitment From Canadian Safety

Taylor Loffler, a 6'3" safety from Canada has given a verbal commitment to play football for the Broncos in 2011.

Loffler, who also plays quarterback for his high school team, had an offer form Oregon State as well.

"I talked to the coaches again, and I really like the coaches there," he said. "The coaches are pretty much the thing that got me going to Boise. I got a really good feel for coach (Chris) Petersen.

"All the coaches were really upbeat and I really liked that. It really felt like home."

Loffler also got a great feel for the city of Boise, especially since he grew up in Billings, Mont. before moving to Kelowna, Canada.

"I really liked the city," he said of Boise. "It's not a real big city and very similar to where I used to live with the terrain and everything."

Loffler confirmed that the Broncos are bringing him in as a safety and he will take his one and only official visit to BSU after his senior season is complete.

Loffler is the 7th player to commit to Boise State this off-season.
