Five Recruits Visiting Colorado as Deion Sanders Aims to Flip Commitments
As the Colorado Buffaloes prepare for their Big 12 showdown with BYU, coach Deion Sanders is also hosting a key group of recruits in Boulder this weekend. Five players, all committed to other programs, are visiting the campus. This includes a high-profile four-star offensive lineman, Javeion Cooper from Syracuse, and four three-star prospects.
The recruits will get a first-hand look at Colorado’s facilities, meet the coaching staff, and experience what life as a Buffalo would be like. For Sanders and his staff, this is a golden opportunity to make a lasting impression and show the recruits where they could fit into the program.
With a big game against BYU on the horizon, this weekend is crucial for both the Buffaloes’ performance on the field and their efforts to improve their recruiting class.
Why Flipping Javeion Cooper Would Be Major for Sanders
Deion Sanders has already landed five-star talent, including offensive lineman Jordan Seaton and quarterback Julian Lewis, to kick-start his program. Adding another top offensive lineman like Cooper would be a significant move.
At 6-foot-5, 295 pounds, Cooper is a powerhouse who projects as a future right tackle. His addition would help solidify Colorado’s offensive line, creating a strong foundation for Julian Lewis to thrive once he takes over next season.
Flipping Cooper would not only be a huge recruiting win for Sanders but would also continue the build toward an elite offensive line that could help shape Colorado’s future.
Who Are the Three-Star Recruits Visiting Colorado?
In addition to Cooper, four three-star prospects are making the trip to Boulder. On offense, running back Lehky Thompkins (committed to Louisville), wide receivers Bryan Hamilton (Pittsburgh), and Brayden Allen (Tulane) are all visiting. On the defensive side, Mississippi State commit Kaleb Morris, a defensive lineman, is also in town.
For Sanders, it’s a chance to connect with these players, show off the team’s potential, and give them a taste of what life in Boulder could offer.
How a Win Against BYU Could Help Sanders’ Recruiting Efforts
Colorado’s season has had its ups and downs, making a win against BYU even more important. With the Big 12 becoming more competitive, the Buffaloes can’t afford to fall behind.
BYU has been one of the most consistent teams under head coach Kalani Sitake, and with other programs like Texas Tech stepping up, the Buffaloes need to prove they can compete for top talent.
With so many recruits in town, Saturday’s game feels especially pivotal. A win could provide the momentum Colorado needs to make a strong push in both the Big 12 and on the recruiting trail.
