Football: Pleasant Grove QB Dallas Lloyd commits to Stanford
Dallas Lloyd, the highly-recruited quarterback from Utah's Pleasant Grove High, has orally committed to Stanford.
Lloyd confirmed to The Tribune's Tony Jones on Tuesday afternoon that he committed to Stanford coaches on Sunday night.
The family was delaying the announcement so Lloyd could contact coaches at other schools that were recruiting him, but decided to confirm it Tuesday when news of Sunday's commitment began to leak out.
Lloyd was scheduled to attend BYU's Junior Day this Friday, but those plans are apparently canceled.
Lloyd had 11 offers, recently getting invitations from Vanderbilt and TCU, but had said BYU, Utah and Stanford were his three favorites.
He visited Stanford's campus over the weekend, along with his parents, grandparents and siblings.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound rising senior was recruited to Stanford by Cardinal assistant Lance Anderson, who, like Lloyd, is LDS.
Lloyd has said he will probably go on an LDS Church mission, most likely before he enrolls at Stanford.
The Cardinal also has a commitment from another Utah County star, Timpview safety Chris Badger.
Last year, Stanford also landed perhaps the top LDS quarterback in the country, Taysom Hill of Pocatello, Idaho. Hill will also likely serve a church mission before enrolling.
Lloyd helped the Vikings go 10-2 his junior season. He completed 93 of 169 passes for 1,689 yards and 15 touchdowns with just four interceptions.

So there's a battle brewing between two LDS QBs at Stanford? Crazy. Good luck to Dallas. Wish he were a Ute.
Commitments from QBs that are going to serve missions are meaningless. They won't play their first year, and they can (and do) easily transfer after their mission. This kid may end up at BYU, yet.
Same goes for Heaps. Whoever he commits to now only has about 50% chance of seeing him play.
