PrintThe Buffaloes received a verbal commitment today from Valor Christian Quarterback Brock Berglund. Berglund, of Highlands Ranch, chose Colorado over UCLA, Utah, Kansas and Kansas State. Most thought that Berglund would be heading west to Westwood, but Colorado was able to keep this in-state prospect home, just days after losing Arvada offensive lineman Marc Mustoe to Coach Neuheisel and the Bruins.
CO QB Brock Berglund announces for Colorado, claims he almost committed to UCLA, then had a change of heart. Big pick up for CU.

Rivals.com rates Berglund, a three-star recruit, as the No. 13 dual-threat quarterback in the 2011 class. He is the first three-star in the current Rivals rankings. This is a big pick up for the Buffs and, along with Nick Sherry, should finish Colorado's 2011 quarterback class.
From Scout.com:
Brock Berglund finished his junior season with just under 2,500 yards passing, 30 touchdowns and four interceptions. He also rushed for just over 1,000 yards with 14 touchdowns. He says he can bench 260-pounds, squat 365 and has a 34-inch vertical jump.
Two seasons into his career, Berglund has already compiled nearly 5,000 yards of total offense.
Berglund plans to major in business or film and reports a 3.2 core GPA. He is scheduled to take the ACT on June 12.
Berglund: "I'd say I'm mobile and can throw on the run. I can move well in the pocket and read the defenses well. I feel like I can diagnose any defense out there.
"I want to work on everything. I'm still trying to get stronger and faster and am working on my footwork too."

Love this
Finally got someone to stay in Colorado. Good job!
VERY NICE!
Welcome home young man, right where you belong. Congratulations!
That is a huge commtiment
Valor christian is going to be the new HS football power in the state and it is good to see that we are already getting kids (at lest one) from there. They will be trading state championships with mullen within 5 years.
At least we have a film department
That way if he decides to study film he won’t have to go to UCLA to do it.
valor christian
welcome and lets hope we dont have a change of mind later. also i agree valor is going to be huge to get into for recruiting. can we please get some big d-lineman this year.
wow
This news just made my weekend a little sweeter. Welcome to the Black and Gold!!!!
Great get
This is a great pickup b/c not only is he a fantastic player but it also shows that we’re still relevant in the minds of CO football players.
And it’s another reason why the move to the Pac Ten will lead to more kids staying home at CU – no longer can UCLA, USC, Cal come in and tell these guys that they’re the only way to play in Cali.
Now we need to get some of these local LBs
Also, weren’t we incredibly late in offering him a scholarship? I seem to remember Ringo having something on his blog about it. Just wondering and I’m glad that he will be a Buff!

This guy sounds loyal to CU
Kiesau recruited him, a man who might not be around next year. BUT…. just read DP article where he said he wanted to be a buff since he was a kid. Almost played for slick rick, glad he made the right choice!
