The Colorado football program received its first commitment from a high school prospect for the 2011 recruiting class Tuesday when quarterback Dexter Foreman announced his decision, Scout.com reported.

CU previously had received a commitment from offensive lineman Shaun Simon, a member of the 2009 recruiting class who was ruled academically ineligible that year and had to attend a junior college. He re-committed to CU over the winter.

Foreman, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound prospect from Manvel, Texas, near Houston, made an unofficial visit to Boulder last week for the spring game.

"It was a stellar campus and is one of the top business programs in the country," Foreman told Scout.com. "It is also a great quarterback situation there. They run spread style offense I have been wanting and the coaches have mad love for their players."

It is unclear whether Foreman will play quarterback at CU or if he will join the program as an athlete and end up at another position as other recruited quarterbacks such as Clark Evans and Josh Moten have done recently.

Colorado coaches won't be quite as busy with recruiting this year as some years because they are expected to sign only about 15-17 prospects. However, with 10 months remaining in this recruiting cycle that number could grow slightly.
