Idaho State’s 2006 gunslinger who still stands out for production and poise
In the 2006 season, Matt Gutierrez delivered big-play volume at Idaho State, throwing for 2,237 yards and 16 touchdowns while adding enough dual-threat juice to stay dangerous, including a 20-for-39, 282-yard, four-TD outing against Montana State[3][11]. What makes him interesting goes beyond the box score: reports from the time described him as the school’s finest pro-style quarterback, an Elite 11-level talent whose career was shaped by a serious shoulder injury before he transferred into a new start at Idaho State[8]. If your team wants a polished passer with toughness, experience, and upside, he’s a compelling fit[8][13].
