There are three quarterbacks ranked among the top 10 class of 2028 recruits in Colorado. Rivals ranks quarterbacks Titus Huard, Luke Rubley, and Theodore Lee among the top Colorado recruits.

According to Brandon Huffman of Rivals, this is the first time since 2019 that the state of Colorado had three quarterbacks ranked in the top 10 of Rivals Industry ranking. The three quarterbacks in that 2019 class were Luke McCaffrey, Ty Evans, and Alex Padilla.

McCaffrey went to Nebraska, Evans went to NC State, and Padilla went to Iowa. Will coach Deion Sanders be able to keep at least one of these top 2028 quarterback in their home state?

Colorado's Quarterback Situation Now

Colorado enters the 2026 season with all signs pointing towards redshirt freshman Julian Lewis starting at quarterback. Lewis was one of Colorado's top 2025 recruits and played in four games as a true freshman in 2025.

As for the Buffs' most recent quarterback commitment, that would be four-star signal caller Andre Adams. Adams is a class of 2027 quarterback that is rated by Rivals Industry as a four-star recruit.

Adams is listed at 6-1, 185 pounds and is ranked as the No. 15 quarterback in the 2027 class. He is the lone quarterback to commit to Colorado at this point in the recruiting cycle.
