Coach Prime stole a major prospect from Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss with a late call

Finally, Colorado has some momentum on the recruiting trail. On Saturday, the Buffaloes landed a commitment from 4-star LB Rodney Colton Jr., the ninth commitment for Deion Sanders and company in the 2026 class, and the fourth to pledge in the last week.

Recruiting has been a major concern for Colorado after a slow start to this cycle, and Coach Prime being sidelined with an illness and away from the program for the majority of the last couple of months. His appearance at Big 12 Media Days last week signaled a return to the program, and now momentum is beginning to build.
