Cd'A QB Amos commits to Idaho

Coeur d'Alene High quarterback Gunnar Amos verbally committed on Saturday to play football at the University of Idaho.

Amos, a two-year starter for the Vikings, made the announcement while on his recruiting visit to the Moscow campus.

Though he was apparently being recruited by the Vandals as an "athlete," he said Idaho is now interested in him as a quarterback.

Gunnar's dad, Coeur d'Alene High football coach Shawn Amos, said his son also had offers from Idaho State, Central Washington, College of Idaho and Montana Tech, and a few other schools had also expressed interest.

Amos suffered a broken ankle in the state quarterfinals vs. Capital of Boise, and watched from the sidelines as the Vikings won the state 5A title - their third in four years.

Football letters of intent can be signed beginning Feb. 5.
