The six-foot-three 203-pound runner joins Colorado’s class of 2016. Bisharat is rated as a four-star player by both Rivals and 24/7 while ESPN ranks him as a three-star. He bolsters the top of what is already a deep class for Colorado.

Recruited by Tight Ends and Running Backs Coach Klayton Adams, Bisharat had 25 total offers and he decommitted from Stanford earlier in the recruiting cycle.
In high school, Bisharat played running back, fullback, wide receiver, defensive end and linebacker. It is expected that he will get a chance in the Colorado backfield but he may also join the Colorado linebacking corps.
BOOM!!! There it is!! Congrats Beau on the commitment!! Welcome to the family!!! #CUin16 #GoBuffs #TMPMafia pic.twitter.com/kEJ3vRPDNG

Bisharat is a unique guy who will likely develop into a fulltime fullback. He is versatile and athletic and he catches the ball very well out of the backfield. He needs to join a program that will use him in a fullback/H role which will maximize his ability level by doing what he does best. Expect multiple, pro-style programs to be on him.
Signing Day is tomorrow, stay tuned for full coverage from BSNBuffs.com

Beau turned down Stanford for CU? Wow. Is this a sign of a turnaround for Buffs’ recruiting?
Beau committed to Stanford in May 2015, and decommitted last month. Stanford people will arrogantly claim he wasn’t accepted to the university because of academic reasons, but don’t believe that for a minute. By all accounts, he’s a very intelligent kid, and would not have a problem with the school work or qualifying academically. It’s not like CU is a cupcake school academically. He committed prior to last season starting, but we all know what happened during the season with the meteoric rise of Christian McCaffrey, Stanford’s do-everything All-American. The reality is that Beau wouldn’t get a great opportunity to showcase his talents while being in McCaffrey’s shadow for the next couple of seasons. Christian will get all the touches on offense and Beau would never see the field (even if he is actually more skilled); his talent would go to waste standing on the sidelines. With the Buffs, he’ll be a major contributor to the offense immediately, and wouldn’t be stuck in the shadow of a Heisman candidate running back; HE will be the Heisman candidate running back. It was a very smart move for him.
