Boise State has gained another oral commitment from a Capital High football player.

Offensive lineman Bryant Thomas (6-foot-2, 250 pounds) committed to the Broncos on Thursday, he told Jesse Zentz, our Varsity Extra blogger.

Thomas plays guard at Capital. He played tackle earlier in the season.

“He’s a fantastic athlete,” Capital coach Todd Simis said. “I think he has the movement and feet you see in skill positions. He’s just bigger.”

Thomas was fired up by the prospect of playing for the Broncos and coach Chris Petersen.

“I put a lot of work in and finally get a chance to see it really pay off,” Thomas said. “I can’t wait to play for Coach Pete. I will be dedicated to his program on and off the field.”

Thomas will join Capital wide receiver Geraldo Hiwat in signing with Boise State. Thomas is the 14th commitment for 2009 confirmed by the Idaho Statesman.

We’ll have a full story on Thomas in Friday’s newspaper.
