Breaking News: 5-Star QB Colton Boomer Decommits from Boise State, Chooses Ohio State Over Penn State and Others.

 

In a stunning turn of events, 5-star quarterback Colton Boomer has decommitted from Boise State and announced his commitment to Ohio State, sending shockwaves through the college football world. The highly touted signal-caller had been pledged to Boise State for months, but after a whirlwind recruitment process, he ultimately chose the Buckeyes over Penn State and several other top programs.

 

Boomer, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound standout from California, is ranked among the top quarterbacks in the 2025 class. His strong arm, poise in the pocket, and ability to extend plays made him a priority target for many Power Five programs. Despite his initial commitment to Boise State, speculation had been mounting that he could flip, with Ohio State and Penn State emerging as the primary contenders.

 

Ultimately, Ryan Day and the Buckeyes won out, adding yet another elite quarterback to their pipeline. Ohio State’s track record of developing quarterbacks for the NFL, combined with their high-powered offense, played a major role in Boomer’s decision. Sources indicate that Penn State made a strong late push, but the allure of competing for championships in Columbus was too much to pass up.

 

Boomer’s decision is a major blow to Boise State, which had hoped to land its highest-rated quarterback in program history. For Ohio State, however, it solidifies their 2025 recruiting class and strengthens their quarterback room for the future. As one of the most talented passers in the country, Boomer’s commitment further cements Ohio State’s status as a national powerhouse.
