Maybe the word "stated".

i.e.: Jason said his friends are going to play football.
        vs.
       Jason stated that his friends are going to play football.

Hope this helps! :)

There's many words but it would be easier if I had a sentence to go along with it but here are some examples 

Say
Told
Informed 
Mentioned

Hope this helped!
