Although Roger Saleapaga has already announced his top 10 schools, Colorado is making a late push for the 2024 four-star tight end.
On Thursday, Saleapaga announced on his X account (formerly Twitter) that he received an offer from the Buffs after speaking with tight ends coach Tim Brewster. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound converted wide receiver is ranked as the No. 3 overall prospect in Utah and the No. 23 TE (247Sports Composite).
At Oreom High School last fall, Saleapaga recorded 78 receptions for 1,267 yards and 14 touchdowns as a WR.
He announced a top 10 of Utah, Oregon, Washington, Tennessee, Baylor, Miami, Iowa, UCLA, Auburn and Alabama in late July.
