Colorado offers local Fairview High School athlete Toray Davis

The Buffs offered a talented prospect from their own backyard

While recruiting potential future players, the Buffaloes are looking closely at some talented in-state prospects. On Wednesday, Fairview High School athlete Toray Davis took to X (formerly Twitter) to share that after speaking with Colorado football defensive coordinator Robert Livingston and cornerbacks coach Kevin Mathis, he received an offer from the Buffs.

Listed as a wide receiver on 247Sports, the class of 2026 prospect from Boulder is seemingly being recruited as a defensive back. The rising Fairview junior is listed at 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds and shows incredible ball skills as a defensive back. Though not yet graded by any recruiting services, Davis could grow into one of the state’s top prospects if he can continue to improve as a ballhawk.

Davis’ highlight tape also features him lining up at multiple offensive positions, including wide receiver and running back. The two-way playmaker has earned other scholarship offers from Iowa State and San Diego State.

Colorado offers class of 2026 four-star TE Caleb Tafua

Four-star TE Caleb Tafua announced an offer from Colorado

The Colorado football program extended an offer to class of 2026 tight end Caleb Tafua, continuing its search for future talent. Tafua announced the news on Tuesday via his X account.

Tafua is rated a four-star prospect (247Sports composite), good for the 10th-ranked tight end in the class of 2026. He is the No. 24 overall prospect in his class in California.

At 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds, Tafua’s film suggests he’s a strong athlete, featuring contested catches and hurdles in the open field. In nine games last season, Tafua reeled in 36 catches for 540 yards and eight touchdowns, per MaxPreps. He also plays defensive end.

However, Tafua’s talent is no secret with Colorado’s offer marking his eighth just in May. He has received offers from other Big 12 teams and in-state rival Colorado State.

The Buffaloes have yet to earn a commitment from a class of 2026 recruit, allowing Tafua the opportunity to be the first.
