BYU has picked up yet another quarterback recruit, this one for the 2011 class.

Alex Kuresa, a 6-foot, 175-pound signal-caller from Mountain Crest (Hyrum, Utah) became the fourth commitment for the Cougars' 2011 class. Kuresa passed for 3,481 yards and 39 touchdowns as a junior last season. He also had 397 yards and five touchdowns rushing.

Kuresa gives the Cougars five quarterbacks so far on the 2011 roster.

BYU also picked up a commitment from Manoa Pikula, a 6-foot-1, 235-pound fullback from Bingham (South Jordan, Utah). However, Pikula likely will play defense in college.

Pikula is the second player to commit to BYU from Bingham. Defensive end Baker Pritchard also committed. He is the brother of BYU fullback/linebacker Iona Pritchard, who is currently serving a mission on the Marshall Islands.
