Class of 2026 specialist commits to Boise State

“100 percent committed,” Himebauch wrote on X. “I want to thank Jesus for the opportunities he has put in my life. Thanks to my family, trainers and coaches for staying by my side through it all. Can’t wait to begin this next chapter in my life.”

Himebauch also held offers from San Diego State and Wyoming. 

Himebauch is off to a strong start during his junior season at Palmer Ridge. Through four games, Himebauch has recorded 18 total tackles (4.5 for loss), two sacks and two quarterback hurries. 

Undefeated Palmer Ridge (4-0) has a road game with Mesa Ridge (1-3) this week. 

Palmer Ridge finished 10-2 overall last season and reached the quarterfinals of the Class 4A state playoffs. 

Himebauch is the second class of 2026 specialist to commit to Boise State. 

Back in June, kicker/punter Bradan Scott of California’s Santa Fe Christian committed to the Broncos. 

Scott has recorded touchbacks of 18 of his 29 kickoffs this season. He has also punted nine times for 378 yards (42-yard average) with three punts downed inside the 20-yard line. 

Sante Fe Christian is off to a 5-0 start and will take on Escondido Christian (2-2) on Friday.
