Two Colorado commits set to visit Boulder in June

Colorado has a huge recruiting weekend coming up

Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders and his staff have organized a massive recruiting weekend during the latter portion of June.

Class of 2025 Colorado commits Mantrez Walker and Corbin Laisure announced Friday that they’ll join five-star quarterback Julian “JuJu” Lewis and four-star offensive lineman Chauncey Gooden in visiting Boulder from June 21-23. Walker, a four-star (Rivals) linebacker from Georgia, and Laisure, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound tight end from Tennessee, both committed to the Buffs in late April.

Because commitments don’t exactly carry much weight these days, Colorado’s staff has the challenge of keeping Walker and Laisure engaged and excited about their futures in Boulder. Those two commits could also play a key role in swaying Lewis and Gooden to commit.

Colorado’s 2025 class currently features three commits: Walker, Laisure and three-star cornerback Alex Graham.

Colorado earns commitment from three-star tight end Corbin Laisure

Tennessee TE Corbin Laisure gave his pledge to the Buffs

Early Saturday morning, three-star tight end Corbin Laisure became Colorado football’s second class of 2025 commitment in as many days.

Laisure, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound prospect from Tennessee, picked up an offer from the Buffs in early January and is currently in Boulder for CU’s spring game. The 247Sports composite ranks Laisure as the No. 54 TE in his class and the No. 31 prospect in Tennessee.

According to his MaxPreps profile, Laisure had 774 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns last season as a junior at Sullivan East High School.

Only hours before, four-star defensive back Alex Graham gave his commitment to Colorado on Friday evening. The Buffs’ two-person 2025 class now ranks No. 13 in the 16-team Big 12 Conference.

Colorado’s tight ends room, led by position coach Brett Bartolone, is both thin and inexperienced following the departure of Chamon Metayer. Sav’ell Smalls, Anthony Posadas, Morgan Pearson, Brady Kopetz and Louis Passarello are listed as tight ends on the Buffs’ spring game roster.

Transfers Sam Hart (Ohio State) and Charlie Williams (UNLV) are expected to join CU this summer.

Corbin Laisure, a 3-star tight end, announces his final four ahead of Saturday’s commitment

Corbin Laisure is ready to announce his college decision on Saturday.

Corbin Laisure is ready to make his college commitment on Saturday, with the tight-end prospect announcing a final four earlier this week.

A 6-foot-5, 225-pound tight end from Sullivan East (Bluff City, Tennessee), Laisure is a three-star recruit according to 247Sports where he is ranked the No. 36 player in the state.

Laisure announced a top four this week of Arizona State, Colorado, Louisville and Ole Miss. He will be at Colorado on Saturday for their annual spring game.

“God has blessed me with so many opportunities but I feel he has called me to make a decision in the coming days,” Laisure told USA TODAY High School Sports this week.

“There are also a lot of great tight ends in my class and a lot of spots are getting taken and I feel that it is time to claim my spot on a team. I also feel that I know the school I want to attend therefore I guess you could use the fraise ‘When you know you know’.”

 

This past fall as a junior, Laisure had 64 catches for 774 receiving and 10 touchdowns. He is also a center on the Sullivan East varsity basketball team.
