Colorado has found the big outside receiver target that they've been looking for. Mill Creek (Wash.) Jackson wide receiver Daniel Arias announced on Monday that he's committing to the University of Colorado.

Arias named a top six of Colorado, Utah, San Diego State, Boise State, Oregon State, and Connecticut last week, but today, he just has a top one of Colorado.

Arias, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound prospect, visited Colorado a couple of weeks ago and hit it off with his future position coach Darrin Chiaverini. Arias already had high interest in CU before the visit, but seeing Boulder in person and bonding with the staff put the Buffs over the top.

As mentioned, Colorado has been looking for a tall wide receiver for the 2018 class that specializes in vertical routes on the outside. Arias runs very smooth routes, is a long strider, and is a very natural pass catcher.

Arias caught 49 passes for 1,030 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior.
