Pocatello, Idaho — Idaho State University Athletics is proud to announce an expanded partnership with Harper's Homemade, a locally owned business committed to supporting the health, nutrition, and overall well-being of Bengal student-athletes. Through this enhanced collaboration, Harper's Homemade will provide high-quality, homemade nutrition options designed to fuel performance, recovery, and day-to-day wellness for ISU student-athletes across multiple programs.
"We are incredibly grateful to Harper's Homemade and the Driscoll Brothers team for their continued investment in our student-athletes," said Pauline Thiros, Director of Athletics. "Nutrition plays a critical role in athletic performance, recovery, and overall student-athlete health. Partnerships like this ensure our Bengals have access to quality fueling options that support both their competitive goals and their long-term well-being. This collaboration also represents the strength of community support that makes Idaho State so special."
The partnership aligns closely with the department's commitment to comprehensive student-athlete care, with an emphasis on accessible, performance-focused nutrition resources.
"Having nutrient-dense, high-quality food options readily available is a game-changer for our student-athletes," said Natalie Christensen, ISU Sports Dietitian. "Harper's Homemade provides wholesome ingredients — of which most are grown in southeast Idaho — and balanced options that help athletes meet fueling demands before training, optimize recovery afterward, and maintain consistent energy throughout the day. This type of community partnership directly contributes to performance, injury prevention, and overall health."
Harper's Homemade operates under the leadership of the Driscoll family, whose commitment to the Pocatello community and ISU Athletics continues to grow through meaningful engagement and support initiatives.
