Colorado football quarterback Shedeur Sanders was listed as a Tier 4 signal-caller by Mike Farrell of Mike Farrell Sports — one spot ahead of Georgia Tech-to-Nebraska transfer Jeff Sims, two spots ahead of Michigan State-to-Auburn transfer Payton Thorne, and one spot behind Mountain West veteran Chevan Cordeiro, who spent his first four years in Hawaii and is entering his second season with San Jose State.

Sanders, a transfer who, unlike Sims and Thorne, has never played a Power Five schedule, has one of the toughest schedules in the nation ahead of him.
