Tyler Lytle announced moments ago that he has committed to Colorado.

"Colorado felt like home to me," Lytle said. "I have a great relationship with the coaches, that was key. They communicated with me on a daily basis and Coach Mac (Mike MacIntyre), Coach Chev (Darrin Chiaverini and Coach (Brian) Lindgren went out of their way to let me know I was their guy for the 2017 class.

"They were great throughout this entire process and made it clear to me that I was the top guy on their board. They also made sure I knew that there was an opportunity to compete for playing time early and I'm definitely excited about that opportunity."

Lytle said the chance to help turn the Buff program around was another bonus.

"The program is ripe for a turn around," Lytle said. "There are a lot of recruits looking at Colorado right now, a lot more than anyone thinks and we have a chance to have one of the best classes in the Pac-12.

"There's an opportunity to come in and play early and I think a lot of player are seeing that. The facilities are first class, Boulder is a beautiful place and the academics are strong as well. Football ends for everyone at some point and you need to have that degree to fall back on. I plan to enroll in the Leeds Business School to prepare for life after football and I can't wait to there next year."

Indiana made a strong run for Lytle as well and the quarterback said he loved the offense and business school but his gut pushed him to Colorado.

Lytle is a player with a lot of physical tools including a great frame for the position, a live arm and the ability to make every throw on the field. He shows good mobility for a quarterback his size and can extend a play or run for positive yards.

He has worked very hard on his game over the last year and it will be fun to watch him in the fall when the pads come on to see his development. His mechanics look smoother and he's throwing more fluidly than at any point last year. As he continues to improve his timing and getting the ball out early, his game will rise to another level.
