Southwest Missouri's top high school football prospect entering his senior year is headed to Primetime.

Nevada High star Talan Chandler, a 6-foot-3, 295-pound offensive lineman, announced his commitment to Colorado on Friday.

Chandler is coming off his first season in southwest Missouri after playing for Lutheran St. Charles and winning a state championship as a sophomore. He moved to Nevada as a junior and immediately became the area's best offensive lineman while earning first-team News-Leader All-Ozarks and News-Leader Dominant Dozen honors.

He chose new Colorado head coach Deion Sanders' program over the likes of Eastern Michigan, UNLV, Northern Iowa, Missouri State and others.
