Colorado extends offer to four-star TE Desaahn Brame

Four-star TE DeSaahn Brame, who recently trained with fellow Derby, Kansas native Dylan Edwards, received an offer from Colorado

Colorado is pushing to land class of 2025 tight end Desaahn Brame, a four-star prospect who announced an offer from the Buffs on Monday.

Brame recently wrapped his junior season at Derby High School, the same Kansas football powerhouse that produced current Buffs running back Dylan Edwards. The two Derby natives even trained together in December, per Brame’s X account.

While Brame already named his top eight schools last month (Oregon, Florida, Tennessee, Kansas State, Texas A&M, Alabama, Oklahoma and Michigan), I wouldn’t count Colorado out because of his connection with Edwards.

The numbers that Brame put up this past season for an 11-2 Derby team were impressive. According to his MaxPreps page, the 6-foot-6, 235-pound TE caught 46 passes for 942 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Brame is the fifth-ranked TE in his class and the No. 142 overall prospect (247Sports Composite).

CU Buffs offer 2025 three-star wide receiver Emmanuel Choice

Lancaster, Texas wide receiver Emmanuel Choice is on Colorado’s radar

Head coach Deion Sanders and his Colorado football staff continue to work hard on the recruiting front in hopes of building their roster out for the future.

On Thursday, the Buffs offered another player in the class of 2025, three-star wide receiver Emmanuel Choice.

Choice, who announced his offer on X, is listed at 6-4 and 190 pounds. The Lancaster, Texas product is ranked as the No. 58 WR in his class, according to the 247Sports Composite.

He also has offers from Georgia Tech, Houston, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Texas State and Texas, so several in-state schools have recruited him hard so far.

The Buffs’ 2025 recruiting class has suffered a few decommits, including four-star wide receiver Winston Watkins Jr., who was one of Coach Prime’s first big gets after he was hired.

Nonetheless, Boulder should be an appealing destination for Choice and other talented class of 2025 high school prospects.

Class of 2025 four-star cornerback Dawayne Galloway Jr. picks up Colorado offer

One of the top cornerbacks in next year’s recruiting class received an offer from Colorado

The offers keep on pouring out from the Colorado Buffaloes football program as big recruits continue to express interest in playing for head coach Deion Sanders.

One of the latest high school prospects to receive an offer from CU is class of 2025 cornerback Dawayne Galloway Jr. On Wednesday, the four-star recruit (247Sports) from Columbus, Ohio announced the offer on X.

Galloway plays at Marion-Franklin High School and has received offers from a large number of Power Five teams already, including Michigan, Georgia, Oklahoma, Auburn, Tennessee, Texas A&M and others.

On3 is currently pegging Michigan as the favorite to land Galloway, but the appeal of playing for Coach Prime is always a big factor for defensive backs who are considering the Buffs.

Top-ranked 2025 QB Bryce Underwood to announce college commitment in early January

With Colorado in his top seven, No. 1 class of 2025 QB Bryce Underwood is set to announce his college commitment in early January

The Buffaloes have become regular contenders for some of the top recruits in the nation, and they just landed five-star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton in a massive recruiting grab.

Colorado is also one of the top seven schools for top-ranked class of 2025 quarterback Bryce Underwood, who visited Boulder for a game this past season.

Underwood is set to announce his college commitment on Jan. 6. Here are the final seven teams in the running for him:

The Buffs being listed with some of those other top programs is an indication of what head coach Deion Sanders has done during his short time in Boulder.

Underwood plays at Belleville High School in Michigan, but LSU is currently considered the favorite, according to 247Sports.

If Underwood commits to Colorado, he could be in line to start immediately in 2025 with Shedeur Sanders set to play his final college season this upcoming fall.

Colorado target Mantrez Walker names top 12 schools

Four-star linebacker Mantrez Walker dropped a list of the top schools he’s considering

After backing off his commitment to Michigan in September, Mantrez Walker’s recruitment appears wide open as we near the new year.

On Tuesday, the class of 2025 four-star (Rivals) linebacker announced a top 12 of Colorado, Arkansas, Louisville, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Missouri, Penn State, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee and Stanford.

According to Rivals national recruiting analyst John Garcia Jr., Walker has unofficial visits to Louisville, Miami and Ole Miss scheduled within the next two months. Walker previously took an unofficial visit to Boulder in late September for Colorado’s home game against USC.

The 6-foot, 215-pound prospect recently wrapped his junior season at Buford High School, a Georgia powerhouse that Colorado has recruited heavily over the past few years. Walker had 54 total tackles and four TFLs this past fall, per MaxPreps.

Following the decommitments of quarterback Antwann Hill Jr., wide receiver Winston Watkins Jr. and running back Jamarice Wilder, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders is currently without any 2025 pledges.

Three-star RB Jamarice Wilder becomes latest prospect to decommit from Colorado

Jamarice Wilder became the third prospect to decommit from Colorado this offseason

Now that Colorado’s 2023 football season is complete, the Buffs are in full offseason mode as head coach Deion Sanders continues to lay the program’s foundation.

Unfortunately, not all offseason news is good news. On Monday, the Buffs lost a commitment from class of 2025 running back Jamarice Wilder. The three-star prospect from Venice, Florida previously gave his pledge to Colorado in early August.

Wilder is the third decommitment for the Buffs since the season concluded on Saturday. Class of 2025 quarterback Antwann Hill Jr. and 2024 QB Danny O’Neil represent the other two.

Wilder’s decommitment now leaves Colorado without any class of 2025 pledges.

Hayes Fawcett of On3 was the first to report the news.

Four-star quarterback Antwann Hill Jr. decommits from Colorado

Four-star quarterback Antwann Hill Jr. is no longer a Colorado commit

Just about every college football program is dealing with decommits right now, but Colorado has now suffered three big blows since Nov. 12.

On Sunday, class of 2025 four-star quarterback Antwann Hill Jr. became the latest, joining 2025 wide receiver Winston Watkins Jr. and 2024 offensive lineman Talan Chandler. Hayes Fawcett of On3 was the first to break the news of Hill’s decommitment.

Hill, the No. 5 ranked QB in his class (247Sports Composite), had been committed to Colorado since Oct. 20.

As head coach Deion Sanders said last week, the Buffs are well aware that a commitment doesn’t mean much until the recruit signs. Fortunately, Colorado has plenty of time to find its 2025 quarterback.

The Buffs also still own a commitment from Danny O’Neil, a three-star 2024 quarterback who’s expected to sign in December before joining the program in January.

Winston Watkins Jr. opens up on decision to decommit from Colorado

Winston Watkins Jr. opened up on his decision to decommit from Colorado

Class of 2025 four-star wide receiver Winston Watkins Jr. surprised a lot of people when he decided to decommit from Colorado on Sunday. The young recruit committed to Colorado immediately after Deion Sanders got hired, and he has surely made highlights over the summer at various camps.

Despite the decision to open up his recruitment, Watkins said he’s still considering a future in Boulder, per Adam Gorney of Rivals.

“I’m still messing with Colorado super, super heavy, but I just want to make sure I’m making the right decision,” Watkins told Rivals.

Watkins also told Recruiting News Guru the following: “I am making sure I am making the right decision; I am keeping my options open. There are a lot of schools wanting to contact me, but they are scared of Colorado. I want to make sure everyone can show me their best.”

The First Baptist Academy (Fla.) wide receiver’s attention is currently on the playoffs, but the good news is that Colorado still has a shot of landing him.

Hopefully, Watkins’ decision doesn’t lead to other decommits, although Colorado isn’t the only program dealing with this.

Four-star WR Winston Watkins Jr. decommits from Coach Prime’s Buffs

Winston Watkins Jr. is no longer a Colorado commit

Four-star wide receiver Winston Watkins Jr., a 2025 recruit who committed to Colorado just one day after Deion Sanders was hired last December, is no longer a Buffs pledge.

As first reported by On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Sunday morning, Watkins has made the decision to decommit from CU.

The Florida native is the No. 13 ranked WR and the No. 74 overall prospect in the 2025 class (247Sports Composite). He owns a total of 22 college offers, per Fawcett.

Colorado’s 2025 class is back down to two commits, four-star quarterback Antwann Hill Jr. and three-star running back Jamarice Wilder.

Here’s how social media reacted to Watkins’ decommitment:

Colorado hosting star-studded group of recruits for Oregon State game

Coach Prime and the Buffs are hosting an absolutely ridiculous group of highly-ranked recruits this weekend

Yet another impressive group of recruits will be visiting Boulder this weekend for Colorado’s homecoming game against Oregon State.

So far, head coach Deion Sanders has had great success converting visitors to commits, and if he can land even a couple of this weekend’s prospects, it’ll be a huge win. However, there is one visitor, in particular, who stands out among the rest at a vital position group for the Buffs.

As of this writing, Colorado’s 2024 class has 10 commits and is ranked No. 63 overall by 247Sports.

Check out some of the most notable recruits who will be at CU this weekend:
