Faith Lutheran senior quarterback Sagan Gronauer announced his commitment to Idaho State on Wednesday through his Twitter account. His commitment is nonbinding and Idaho State coaches cannot comment on him until he signs his letter of intent.

Gronauer completed 55.3 percent of his passes last year for 2,307 yards and 22 touchdowns to eight interceptions. He also ran for 155 yards and six touchdowns. He was ranked the top Southern Nevada quarterback in this summer’s Nevada Preps rankings.
