Sleeper quarterback Robert Fuller (6-3, 200, 4.64) from San Bernardino (Calif.) Arroyo Valley received his first official offer and came from a school that caught the signal caller by surprise.
"I received my first written offer from Colorado State," Fuller said. "I got a written letter from Coach Sonny Lubick saying I have a full scholarship offer. I'm really excited about this because I really have heard much from them.

"I'm going to call them today (Wednesday May 30th). I don't know a lot about Colorado State so I'm looking on the internet right now doing research on them.
"There have been a lot of colleges by this spring," Fuller said. "At least over 20 schools.
"I'm getting a lot of interest from Nevada, San Jose State and Washington," Fuller said. "USC is showing interest in me as a safety.
"I'm not interested in playing safety," Fuller said. "I want to be a college quarterback.
"The whole Pac 10 has been by this spring except Stanford," Fuller said. "Iowa State, Hawai'i, Fresno State, UNLV, Utah and UTEP have also been by the school.
One of the reasons Fuller is somewhat of a sleeper is he played his first three seasons at San Bernardino, Calif., high school before transferring to Arroyo Valley for his senior season.
Fuller first came to the attention of local highs school football fans when he threw for 604 yards and eight touchdowns in one game in 2006. That yard total is the second most in U.S. high school history for a single game.
For the whole season, Fuller ended up 3,027 yards and 24 touchdowns as a junior.
With stats like that it is easy to understand why Fuller was League Player of the Year, and second-team all-county.
The scouting report on Fuller is he's the complete package for a quarterback. He can throw the out and throw with touch. He's comfortable in the pocket, but can make a play by running the ball too.
Fuller is an excellent leader and his teammates like to play for him. Another thing some colleges will like is he runs the spread offense for his high school team and he understand offensive concepts.
