Valor Christian moves up to 4A football next year, so Berglund and WR teammate Carzell Vickers will be playing against much better competition.
I remember seeing someone say that this guy outplayed Austin Hinder in the championship game. Looks like he has pretty good size, hopefully he lights up the better competition next year.
Scout has a new article up on Berglund. Good stuff! He says he wants to keep his options open, but imho if we offer and show him the love there is no good reason we should lose out on him.

Brock Berglund, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound quarterback from Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, grew up attending Colorado football games with his father on Saturday afternoons when he didn't have a schedule conflict with his youth football team.
The Berglund family loves black and gold. His younger brother, Brant (quarterback of the freshman team at Valor), was given the middle name, Kordell, after former CU quarterback Kordell Stewart.
"CU was where I always saw myself going when I was growing up," Berglund said.
Berglund was not able to attend Colorado's junior day earlier this month because he was returning from the junior combine at the Army All-American game in San Antonio.
Berglund said he was asked to be one of eight quarterbacks featured on the second season of The Ride, a television show following eight prep quarterbacks from all walks of life as they compete for a chance to learn from renowned coaches and a chance to be mentored by former professional players.
Berglund said his involvement with the show has not been finalized yet.
The Colorado program could have as many as six scholarship quarterbacks on the roster next fall with only one of them set to graduate following the 2010 season. Most of the players the Buffs have at the position will be either redshirt freshmen or true freshmen. Berglund said that wouldn't make him shy away from considering the Buffs if they offer him a scholarship.
"I like that. I mean, I'm the kind of guy who likes competition. I thrive off a challenge," he said.
I'm pretty sure the school can't extend a written offer until after his jr year is complete. That said, the staff should be on the phone the afternoon of LOI day (for 2010's) asking this guy if he's ready to be the first commit for 2011.
We should have listened to Colorado fans.
How good is he?
I will have to check him out this fall. Valor is literally a 2 minute drive from my house.
If it ain't hurtin, it ain't right.

Is being invited to the Army All-American combine as a Junior a pretty prestigious thing?
Prestigious but not necessarily elite. Berglund said there were about 80 QBs there.Originally Posted by White_Rabbit
Local State kid? Jesus sign him the damn minute he becomes available to sign! Now the sad part ..................... god damn Hawkins!
I have literally no inside information (or information apart from what is in this thread), but I've got a really good feeling about this one. I think he signs up early to be a Buff and is a good one!
I'm pretty sure that's not true. Texas usually has 15-20 commitments within a week of LOI day for the following year.
Offers started going out to juniors in 2009 (November, I think).
Also, regarding the 2011 recruiting process, a Quiet Period starts the day after NSD for 2010. In-person contacts can only be made with 2011 recruits if they are on campus. This period goes from February 5th through April 14th. Then from April 15th through 31st coaches can go on the road recruiting again.
Okay, I'm a little fuzzy on offers. I thought I had read somewhere that written offers could only be extended to a player after their jr year. Is this wrong? I realize a coach/school can verbally offer a player just about anytime, and the player(s) can verbally accept.
I was actually a couple months off. I found an old ESPN from JC Shurburtt of Scouts, Inc. Link
...Class of 2011... players will be receiving written scholarship offers from Division I programs Sept. 1, which is the first day programs can extend such offers.
