Quarterback
Arizona Western C.C. (JUCO-Early enroller)
Yuma, AZ
Rivals: 3*
Scout: 2*

With just two returning scholarship quarterbacks for the 2011 season, Burnette will be counted on to provide immediate competition and depth for Tyler Hansen and Nick Hirschman. Burnette arrived at Arizona Western via a transfer from Middle Tennessee State in the spring of 2010. His only season at Arizona Western was shortened by a rib injury, but Brunette still led the Matadors to a 6-1 record while throwing 10 touchdowns against just three interceptions. Already enrolled at CU, Brunette is eligible to work out and practice with the team this spring.
Sherrard Harrington

Corner Back
H.D. Woodson HS
Washington, DC
Rivals rating: 3*-5.5rr; unranked CB
Scout rating: 2*; unranked CB
ESPN rating: 3*-77 grade; #38 CB
With the graduation of Jimmy Smith and Jalil Brown the Buffs suddenly go from corner being a position of strength to being, under manned and in experienced. The staff immediately identified corner back as a huge position of need and brought in Sherrard Harrington who is a big physical corner in the mold of Jimmy Smith. While he likely wont see the field at corner back next year Harrington will have the chance to compete for significant playing time and to be a major contributor at CU.
Jermaine Clark
HT: 6'2"

Athlete
Oak Ridge Military Academy
Oak Ridge, NC
Class of 2011
Rivals: 2*

Clark is a versatile two-way athlete that played four different positions on the field during his senior season. However, CU recruited him primarily for the defensive side of the ball and he will be tried at either outside linebacker or free safety. Clark chose the Buffs over offers from Washington State, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, and Memphis. He joins Oak Ridge teammate Rashad Hall as part of the 2011 class and is a probable redshirt candidate.

Running Back
Oak Ridge Military Academy
Oak Ridge, NC
Rivals rating: 2*-5.4rr; unranked RB
Scout rating: NR RB
ESPN rating: 3* #67 RB
Rashad Hall is a bit of an enigma, he is a largish back with purported 4.3-4.4 speed who’s coach is calling a "four star talent." But he is not getting much love from the two main recruiting services. What we do know is with our questionable depth and size at RB is that over the next few years Rashad will be in the mix and competing for significant PT, we may however see him red-shirt next year since the depth chart is top heavy with Speedy and B-lock.
Stevie Joe Dorman
HT: 6'4"

Quarterback
Somerset High School
Somerset, TX
Class of 2011

A nephew of former Buff quarterback great Koy Detmer, Dorman joins the Buffs after a prep career that placed him in the top 10 all-time of every major statistical category for Texas quarterbacks. He is the second quarterback to sign with CU for the 2011 class and is a likely redshirt candidate. He committed to the new coaching staff in January and is one of two Texans in the 2011 class.
Will Harlos
HT: 6-4
WT: 200
Athlete
Somerset High School
Somerset, TX
Rivals: 2*
Scout: 3*; #117 OLB
ESPN: 3*; #99 OLB
A long-time Wake Forest commitment before switching to the Buffs shortly before signing day, Harlos joins Somerset teammate and friend Stevie Joe Dorman as part of the 2011 class. A versatile athlete that projects to play on the defensive side of the ball at the college level, Harlos is a likely redshirt candidate that will likely put on weight and play either LB or DE. He was a unanimous selection as his region's defensive player of the year as a senior and chose the Buffs over Wake Forest, Arkansas, and SMU.
Nelson Spruce
HT: 6'2"
WT: 190
Wide Receiver
Westlake High School
Westlake Village, CA

Scout: 3*
ESPN: 3*
A talented two-way athlete who also played baseball in high school, Spruce projects as a WR at CU. He was one of the first commitments for the new coaching staff and is likely to compete for playing time immediately. In his junior and senior seasons, he combined for over 2,500 yards receiving and 36 touchdowns. He chose the Buffs over several MWC and WAC offers.
Alex Kelley

Center
Vista High School

Kelley is a CU legacy whose father Karry played right tackle for the Buffs in the late '70s. Kelley is a natural center who figures to compete for a starting job very early in his career. He committed in October to the previous staff and stayed on with the new staff. He chose the Buffs over offers from Boston College, Minnesota, Iowa State, Boise State, and a handful of other programs.
Will Oliver

With the graduation of the 3 year starter and with the CU kicking game pretty much in shambles under the past regime Oliver will have the opportunity to compete for playing time right away. With a reputation for a strong leg and the ability to perform under pressure Oliver could represent a significant upgrade on special teams for CU.
Marc Mustoe
HT: 6'7"
WT: 275
Offensive Tackle
Arvada West High School
Arvada, CO
Rivals: 3*
Scout: 3*
ESPN: 3*
A longtime UCLA commit, Mustoe switched his commitment to the Buffs shortly after Jon Embree was hired. He projects as a RT at the next level and has a big frame that can put on more weight. Considered a project, Mustoe is a likely a redshirt candidate and will need some time to adjust to the college level. He earned All-Colorado accolades as a senior and is ranked the #5 Colorado prep prospect by Rivals.com; he chose the Buffs over offers from a dozen other offers, including five Pac-12 schools.
Brady Daigh
HT: 6'2"
WT: 220
Linebacker
Mullen High School

Scout: 3*
ESPN: 2*
Daigh joins the Buffaloes from in-state powerhouse Mullen High School. As a senior, he helped the Mustangs to a third straight state title while earning All-Colorado honors. Physical and hard-hitting, Daigh could see playing time as a true freshman on special teams and at linebacker. One of the earliest commitments of the class, Daigh chose the Buffs over offers from Colorado State, Wyoming, and North Dakota.
Gregory Henderson
Ht: 5'11"
Wt: 180 lbs
Rivals rating: 2*-5.4rr; unranked CB
Scout rating: 2*; unranked CB
ESPN rating: 1*-66 grade; #122 CB
Henderson continues the new staff's drive to to balance out our secondary depth. Despite marginal ratings from the recruiting services Henderson had an effective senior season picking off 5 balls and displaying an innate timing ability. If he can keep those instincts and develop his rumored 10.85second 100 speed into a football game speed he could be a real sleeper in this class. Right now he projects as a freshman red-shirt and a special teams contributor who will provide some depth to our secondary.
Paulay Asiata
HT: 6-5
WT: 285
Offensive Lineman
St. Louis High School
Honolulu, HI
Rivals: 3*
Scout: 4*; #14 OT
ESPN: 3*; #58 OG
Part of a notable Hawaiian contingent in the 2011 class, Asiata joins the Colorado program with high school teammate Juda Parker. Asiata long favored Washington and briefly committed to Washington shortly before signing day, but switched to the Buffs on signing day. A versatile lineman who could end up at either tackle or guard, Asiata is a likely redshirt candidate. He chose the Buffs over offers from Arizona, Cal, Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA, USC, Washington, and others.
Woodson Greer
HT: 6-2
WT: 225
Linebacker
Junipero Serra High School
Gardena, CA
Greer joins the Buffs from powerhouse Junipero Serra and projects as an outside linebacker at the college level. However, he displayed some versatility by playing inside linebacker in the California state playoffs. As a senior, he earned all-league and all-area honors. As with the other linebackers in the class, he could see immediate playing time. Greer chose the Buffs over Arizona State, Michigan, and San Jose State.
