Four-star prospect Derrick McFall is just about ready to announce his college commitment, revealing on Thursday that he’ll give his pledge to either Colorado, Washington or UCLA on Aug. 4, per Chris Simmons of On3.
The class of 2024 running back/slot receiver told On3 that those three schools have stayed the most loyal to him throughout his recruiting process. In regard to Colorado, McFall said that he’s been particularly impressed with the NFL-esque culture that head coach Deion Sanders is building.
“They’ve got Prime Time there and treat it like an NFL program,” McFall told On3. “That’s how you prepare for the NFL and I like the offense they run. I saw the spring game and I like how they use their backs.”
Listed at 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds, the Pac-12-bound McFall is the No. 48 ranked prospect in Texas and the No. 25 athlete for 2024 (247Sports).
McFall received an offer from the Buffs in May of last year.
Georgia prospect Micah Welch is the lone running back committed to Colorado’s eight-member 2024 class.
