Colorado on a Roll: New 3-star QB says ‘We are about to change college football’

Boulder, Colorado has suddenly become the center of the football universe.

Boulder, Colorado has suddenly become the center of the football universe. The arrival of Deion Sanders as head coach at Colorado has set off a storm of excitement and a surge in the team’s recruiting business.

The latest to join the class of 2023 is South Paulding (Ga.) three-star quarterback Kasen Weisman, who signed on Christmas. Commenting on his decision, Weisman (6-foot-2, 180 pounds) alluded to Sanders’ history as a winner, per Steve Wiltfong at 247 Sports.

“The staff is elite and they are all winners. They know what it takes to become champions and I want to be around those types of people… We are about to change college football. And I wanted to be a part of it. There is about to be a lot of winning going on in Boulder!”

27 other schools made offers to Weisman, including Florida State, South Carolina, Wisconsin and California.

He wasn’t their only holiday weekend recruit, either. On Christmas Eve, four-star wide receiver Omarion Miller committed.

On Monday the Buffaloes got another blue chip prospect on board, as Omar White (6-foot-2, 305 pounds) from Valdosta (Ga.) announced his commitment via Twitter.

According to On3 White is the No. 83 overall prospect in the class of 2024, the No. 7 ranked DL and No. 13 player in Georgia. However, 247 Sports has him slotted No. 24 among DL in his class and No. 34 in the state.

White also had 27 other offers to choose from, including Alabama.

Oklahoma Sooners extend offer to 2024 4-star DL Omar White

The Oklahoma Sooners extended a scholarship offer to 2024 four-star defensive tackle Omar White out of Georgia.

The Oklahoma Sooners had a busy weekend on the recruiting trail, extending offers to several players, including 2024 four-star defensive lineman Omar White.

White is a top 20 player at his position and lands inside the top 157 according to On3, 247Sports, and ESPN.

Omar White played up and down the defensive line in Lee County’s three-man front. He has the strength to be an effective player as both a nose tackle and a 3-4 defensive end. He utilizes a strong bull rush to set the edge when lined up as a defensive end, and it’s an effective pass rush move when lined up over the center.

White’s quickness off the snap jumps off the screen, especially when lined up as the nose tackle. White employs an excellent swim move and does a great job working through the “A-gap” between the guard and the center to get into the backfield. White does a great job in backside pursuit when the run is going away from him.

While he’s shown to be a versatile defensive lineman in high school, his best spot is at defensive tackle. As he continues to develop his strength, agility, and quickness, he could play either the 1-technique or 3-technique defensive tackle spots in Brent Venables’ defense.

Alabama football lands in top ten for 2024 DT prospect Omar White

Alabama lands in the top ten for 2024 DT Omar White from Georgia.

Alabama made the cut for 2024 defensive tackle Omar White’s top-ten programs. The other teams that made White’s list were Oregon, Michigan State, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Florida State, Cincinnati, Clemson and Jackson State.

White is a rising junior at Lee County High School in Leesburg, Georgia. He is rated as a three-star by 247Sports’ recruiting rankings. White is listed at 6-foot-3 and 307 pounds.

He has taken several unofficial visits to schools like Florida, Florida State, and Texas A&M. According to On3’s RPM, he is favored to commit to Texas A&M at 47.2%.

The Alabama coaching staff has made it clear that a realistic goal is to sign five or six defensive linemen every year. His lead recruiter, Charles Kelly, would love to add a player of his stature to the class. He can be physically imposing at any level of football and certainly has time to develop his physique prior to arriving at college.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Alabama football and Omar White.
