Grant Potter, a senior at Coeur d'Alene High, was among three signings for the Boise State men's golf program on Wednesday, Bronco coach David Trainor announced.

Potter earned three district medalist honors in the last four years at Coeur d'Alene. In 2023, Potter had five Top 5 finishers at the Idaho State Junior, Idaho State Amateur and state high school golf tournament. He also placed in the top 10 of the WJGA Eastern Open, shooting a first-round 65.

Shepherd was the champion of the JGAA Phoenix Metro, the Idaho State Junior and the McCall Junior Amateur in 2022. 


Idaho adds former Owyhee star Rasmussen


Jackson Rasmussen, the No. 1 ranked high school prospect in the state, signed a letter of intent to play basketball at the University of Idaho, coach Alex Pribble announced.

Rasmussen, a 6-foot-7 forward from Meridian, plays at Utah Prep in Hurricane, Utah. He is ranked as the No. 52 power forward in the class of 2025 by 247 Sports. He played at Owyhee from his freshman to junior season.

“Jackson is a huge addition to this program,” Pribble said. “He has been a priority recruit from the moment our staff got to Idaho, and we’re thrilled he chose to be a Vandal. He checks all the boxes. His combination of skill, size and toughness makes him college ready. He has been very well coached and has gotten better each year because of his tremendous work ethic.”

Rasmussen earned first-team all-state honors and Defensive Player of the Year, guiding the Storm to state championships in 2022 and 2024.
