Colorado State University has added a highly anticipated piece to its offense, welcoming Jayden Fox, a standout running back who announced his commitment after a dramatic late‑season switch from UCLA.
Fox’s decision follows a record‑breaking high school career at Cherry Creek High School, where he helped the Bruins capture the Class 5A state championship in 2025 and earned CHSAA’s 5A Player of the Year honor.
During his senior season he amassed 1,746 rushing yards and 284 receiving yards, scoring 30 touchdowns — 26 on the ground — while also contributing 474 yards on receptions.
His career totals reached 4,245 rushing yards, 474 receiving yards, 5,106 all‑purpose yards and 60 touchdowns, numbers that placed him among the most prolific players in Colorado history.
Recruiting Context
Ranked as the top running back in the state’s Class 13 by 247Sports and given a composite score of 0.8744, Fox ties for the 11th‑best recruit in Colorado State’s program history according to recruiting analysts.
His three‑star rating and state‑wide ranking underscore a competitive recruiting environment, with several Power Five programs vying for his talents before he ultimately chose CSU.
The addition of Fox not only bolsters the Rams’ depth chart but also signals a recruiting win for a program seeking to climb the Mountain West standings.
Looking Ahead
With Fox slated to compete for playing time in the upcoming season, the Rams hope his proven production will translate into more points on the board and a stronger push for a conference title.
