The CU Buffs had themselves a nice little Sunday.
First, defensive end/outside linebacker Jonathan Van Diest announced on Twitter that he would be joining the Buffs. Rivals.com has Van Diest listed as a three-star prospect who also received offers from Colorado State, Iowa State, Louisville and Nebraska.
About an hour later, Van Diest’s fellow Bruin announced that he, too, would be joining the roster at CU. Dante Sparaco tweeted out his own announcement on the heels of the news of Van Diest committing to the Buffs.
Sparaco also fielded offers from the other two high-profile programs in the state in Air Force and Colorado State.
Both players helped the Bruins bring home a state title in 2014 and advanced to the Class 5A state semifinals where they fell to Valor Christian.
The football recruiting database for 2017 has been updated with the commitments.
