Exactly four months after announcing his commitment to the Texas A&M Aggies, highly-ranked class of 2027 athlete Hakim Frampton revealed Tuesday that he picked up an offer from the Colorado Buffaloes.

Frampton is a four-star recruit and the top-ranked overall prospect in the state of Arkansas, according to the 247Sports composite. Listed at 5-foot-11.5 and 167 pounds, he spent his freshman and sophomore seasons in California before transferring to Joe T. Robinson High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, for his junior year.

At Joe T. Robinson this past fall, Frampton had 37 catches for 724 yards and nine touchdowns to go alone with four carries for 30 yards, per MaxPreps. Defensively, the cornerback totaled 46 tackles, including 3.5 for a loss, three interceptions, three passes defended and two forced fumbles.

"I appreciate you legend (Colorado coach Deion Sanders) and (director of player personnel Darrius Darden-Box) for extending me the opportunity to play at the university of Colorado," Frampton wrote on X.

After watching four-star cornerback Dolph McDonald decommit on Sunday (per Rivals), "Coach Prime" is currently without any class of 2027 pledges.

Colorado's 2026 recruiting class features a healthy number of wide receivers and cornerbacks, including a potential two-way player in Alexander Ward. The Buffs were also slow to gain 2026 commitments but now own 16, including 12 who've signed:

• Safety Preston Ashley (Brandon, Mississippi)
• Linebacker Rodney Colton Jr. (Newnan, Georgia)
• Tight end Gavin Mueller (South Elgin, Illinois)
• Linebacker Colby Johnson (Sammamish, Washington)
• EDGE Domata Peko Jr. (Ventura, California)
• Cornerback Maurice Williams (New Orleans, Louisiana)
• Offensive tackle Xavier Payne (Miami, Florida)
• Linebacker Carson Crawford (Carthage, Texas)
• Safety D'Montae Tims (Seffner, Florida)
• Offensive lineman Ben Gula (Fort Lauderdale, Florida)
• Offensive tackle Josiah Manu (Loveland, Colorado)
• Wide receiver Christian Ward (Bradenton, Florida, via Carrollton, Georgia)
• Athlete Alexander Ward (Bradenton, Florida, via Carrollton, Georgia)
• Safety Braylon Edwards (Duncanville, Texas)
• Wide receiver Xavier McDonald (Morton, Mississippi) — Commit
• Defensive lineman Joseph Peko (Westlake Village, California) — Commit
• Quarterback Kaneal Sweetwyne (Lehi, Utah) — Commit
• Running back Cam Newton (Prosper, Texas) — Commit

If Frampton flips his commitment from Texas A&M to Colorado, he'd likely receive an opportunity from "Coach Prime" to play both wide receiver and cornerback, following in the footsteps of former Buffs Travis Hunter and Isaiah Hardge.
