Colorado’s football program welcomed four‑star offensive tackle Dewey Young on an official visit this week, a recruitment effort that aligns with the Buffaloes’ broader push to strengthen the trenches.
Young, the No. 20 prospect among the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite, shared a positive message about his experience on social media, signaling a favorable impression of the campus and coaching staff.
The visit comes at a pivotal moment for the Buffaloes, who have added 43 incoming transfers while losing 36 players to the portal, a reshaping that has left the roster in flux but also opened opportunities for fresh talent.
A Key Piece of the Puzzle
While Jordan Seaton remains the program’s most prized offensive‑line commit in the 2024 class, Young’s interest adds depth to a position group that has struggled to attract elite high school linemen since Deion Sanders took the helm.
The 2027 class already includes pledges from quarterback Andre Adams, cornerback Davon Dericho and defensive lineman Kenny Fairley, contributing to a recruiting class that Rivals ranks No. 57 nationally and No. 10 in the Big 12.
Looking Ahead to 2026
Colorado is set to open the 2026 season on Sept. 3 at Georgia Tech, a game that will serve as the first test of a roster being rebuilt through both transfers and high‑school signings.
