For months, Under Armour All-American tight end Josh Falo and Rivals three-star safety TraJon Cotton indicated that they were a package deal.
The Inderkum High School (Sacramento, California) duo talked about it openly, and took several visits together.
But in the end, they appear poised to make their decisions separately.
On Sunday, the first domino fell, as Cotton committed to Oregon State over Colorado in an announcement on Twitter:

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound safety also held offers from Arizona State, BYU, Cal, Colorado, Illinois, Memphis, Nebraska, UCLA, Utah, Washington State and others.
