The Colorado Buffaloes continue to build their recruiting class, this time flipping a second prospect from the Ole Miss Rebels with four-star defensive lineman Ben'Jarvius Shumaker committing to Colorado on Tuesday, per the recruit's social media.Shumaker had been committed to Ole Miss since March 6 before flipping his decision to Colorado. He visited the Buffaloes coaching staff in Boulder for the final weekend of official visits in June, and the trip seemingly did the trick for Colorado coach Deion Sanders and company to pull off the flip.Nov 1, 2025; Boulder, Colorado, USA; Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders before the game against the Arizona Wildcats at Folsom Field. | Ron Chenoy-Imagn ImagesWith his decision to flip, Shumaker becomes the highest-rated recruit to commit to Colorado, per 247Sports. Alongside Shumaker, the Buffs' class is headlined by four-star quarterback Andre Adams and four-star wide receiver Jaiden Kelly-Murray. In his decision announcement, Shumaker tagged Colorado defensive line coach Dante Carter, offensive line coach Gunnar White, director of player personnel Darius Darden-Box, and "Coach Prime."Shumaker becomes the second Ole Miss commit to flip to Colorado, following in the footsteps of three-star offensive lineman Coderro McDaniel, who committed to the Buffs on June 14.Take that risk!!

With a long ways to go between Shumaker's commitment and the early signing period in December, Ole Miss and other SEC schools will likely continue to recruit the talented defensive lineman. Whether or not Shumaker takes any visits in the fall will certainly be worth monitoring, or the newest Colorado commit may shut down his recruitment.Colorado Buffaloes Recruiting ClassSacramento State Hornets head coach Brennan Marion listens to one of the assistant coaches yell at players on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025, at Dana J.
