Andre Adams, Quarterback (Tennessee) Jaiden Kelly-Murray, Wide Receiver (South Carolina) Gabe Jenkins, Safety (Pennsylvania) Li’Marcus Jones, Offensive Tackle (Mississippi) Ba’Roc Willis, Edge Rusher (Alabama) Davon Dericho, Cornerback (Florida) Kenny Fairley, Defensive Lineman (Georgia) Will Rasmussen, Cornerback (Utah)Prince Washington, Cornerback (Texas)What is remarkable about this is that these nine states don’t even include the Buffaloes home state of Colorado. While it is a good sign that the Buffaloes have been able to recruit all over the country, recruiting in their own region and creating a pipeline should still be on the list of priorities. This is especially true if there is highly rated recruit right in their backyard. The highest rated recruit in the state of Colorado in the 2027 class os interior offensive lineman Jackson Roper. Roper is rated as a four-star recruit and ranked as the No. 15 interior offensive lineman in the 2027 class per Rivals. He is currently committed to the UCLA Bruins.

It was ranked as the No. 15 class in the Big 12 out of 16 teams, ahead of only the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Colorado had 21 total commits in this class, two of which were blue chips (rated four or five stars).
