BREAKING: Titus Toler chooses Colorado over Washington, Arizona State

Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco safety Titus Toler announced his commitment to play football for the Colorado Buffaloes on Monday.

The 6-foot, 185-pound three-star safety previously told CUSportsNation.com that he had a top three schools list of Arizona State, Colorado, and Washington, with the latter two leading the pack. Toler was impressed with his official visit to Colorado in late-June, which ultimately led to his commitment.

"It was a full experience of being around the coaches and seeing college life and the city of Boulder more in-depth," Toler said of his CU visit. "The players and coaches had a lot of love for me. My dad went there and I know basically the whole coaching staff and a lot of alum. It was great to feel the love."

"My favorite part was getting to sit down and go over film with ShaDon Brown, the safeties coach. He showed me a lot, gave me pointers as far as reading the receivers and how to judge the ball. I really liked the tips he gave me. He's a really good coach and could prepare me for the next level."
