Colorado’s football program recently played host to Dewey Young, a four‑star offensive tackle who is ranked No. 20 among the 2027 prospects by the 247Sports Composite. The visit, which the player publicly praised on his social channels, gave the Buffaloes a chance to showcase their growing appeal to top talent.
Recruiting Momentum Under Deion Sanders
The outing comes as head coach Deion Sanders continues to reshape the roster, a process that has already seen the arrival of Jordan Seaton as the program’s most coveted offensive‑line recruit in the 2024 class. While Seaton remains a focal point, Colorado is also chasing another four‑star tackle who is currently weighing his final three options, signaling the Buffaloes’ intent to fortify the line for the future.
Beyond Young, the 2027 class is already taking shape with commitments from quarterback Andre Adams, cornerback Davon Dericho and defensive lineman Kenny Fairley. Rivals places Colorado’s overall class at No. 57 nationally and No. 10 within the Big 12, a ranking that reflects both the upside of the incoming talent and the challenges posed by a transfer portal that has seen 43 incoming players and 36 departures this cycle. The Buffaloes will open the 2026 season on Sept. 3 at Georgia Tech, a game that will test how quickly these new pieces can gel.
