Colorado’s 2027 recruiting class has got a major boost in the past couple weeks. The Buffs are up to nine commits in this class, with four of them rated as four-star recruits or higher.

Here are all nine of the Buffaloes 2027 commits so far.

Andre Adams, Four-Star Quarterback
Jaiden Kelly-Murray, Four-Star Wide Receiver
Gabe Jenkins, Four-Star Safety
Li’Marcus Jones, Four-Star Offensive Tackle
Ba’Roc Willis, Three-Star Edge Rusher
Davon Dericho, Three-Star Cornerback
Kenny Fairley, Three-Star Defensive Lineman
Will Rasmussen, Three-Star Cornerback
Prince Washington, Three-Star Cornerback

Rivals ranks this class No. 37 in the country and No. 2 in the Big 12. Colorado’s 2026 class was ranked No. 68 in the country and No. 15 in the Big 12. The only team with a higher ranked class for 2027 in the conference are the defending Big 12 champion Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Colorado is coming off a 3-9 season in 2025 and will be looking to get back to a bowl game in 2026. The Buffs have an overall record of 16-21 under coach Deion Sanders since he took over in 2023. In three years with Coach Prime, Colorado has only reached a bowl game one time. That was in 2024, when they won nine games.

The odds are stacked against the Buffaloes to make a bowl game in 2026. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Colorado has odds of +125 to go over the win total of 4.5. To secure a bowl game berth, the Buffs will likely have to win six games.
