Colorado football recruiting: Buffs earn pledge from Oklahoma athlete Morgan Pearson

Morgan Pearson is now Colorado’s highest-rated 2023 commit

Despite not having a full-time head coach in place, Colorado football hasn’t slowed down much in the recruiting game.

The Buffs’ latest snag came Monday in the form of 2023 athlete Morgan Pearson. It’s not completely clear what position he’ll be playing in college, but the 6-foot-1, 220-pound Oklahoma prospect has received interest from several other Power Five schools, including Michigan State, Iowa State, Minnesota, Oklahoma State and Arkansas.

Pearson told BuffStampede’s Adam Munsterteiger that Colorado may have plans to use him at either linebacker, safety or tight end.

With a .8793 rating (247Sports composite), the three-star athlete becomes the highest-rated commit in Colorado’s 2023 class, just ahead of California cornerback Jordan Shaw.

Michigan State football in the mix for 2023 Oklahoma athlete

MSU has gotten into the mix for an athlete from Oklahoma in the 2023 recruiting class

Michigan State has sent an important offer out to a prospect in the 2023 recruiting class. The Spartans have offered Morgan Pearson.

The significance of this offer is centered around Pearson and his training program and partners. Pearson trains with C4 and Sean Cooper, the same trainer for 2023 commit Bai Jobe and 2024 top prospects David Stone and Xadavien Sims.

A native of Ardmore, Oklahoma, Pearson plays high school football at Plainview High School. Standing at 6-foot-2 and 225-pounds, Pearson translates to multiple positions at the next level, and is truly being recruited as an athlete. Pearson could play wide receiver, safety or linebacker at the next level.

The Spartans join Colorado, Iowa State, Minnesota, Oklahoma State, Pittsburgh and Texas Tech in offering the athlete.
