This is the debut of the soon-to-be-(in)famous BuffsBlog.com OFFENSIVE RECRUITING BOARD. As you can guess, a defensive recruiting board is also being worked on and will be up on the blog in the not-too-distant future. If you’re having a hard time making out the general shape of Colorado’s 2025/26 class, this should catch you up.
So You’re Saying There’s a Chance
You’ll notice a column in the recruiting board called “So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance.” This lists the current likelihood of said player eventually suiting up for the Buffs. Since we are still very, very early in the class, take the “So You’re Saying There’s a Chance” column with many grains of salt. There are potential responses in the column:
- No. This is reserved for athletes that have already committed to another school. It’s important to note that commitments are not binding at this stage and it is common for players to de-commit and re-commit in a recruiting season. Therefore, take the “No” more in the spirit of “No for now.”
- Probably not. This is reserved for players that haven’t expressed much interest in the Buffs thus far in the recruiting process or that have expressed significantly more interest in other programs.
- Stay tuned. This is reserved for players that have a link to Colorado somehow, that have expressed interest in the Buffs, or that otherwise make too much sense not to strongly consider playing in Boulder.
At this early stage, this board is best used to get a stance on offers and potential early interested players. Again, however, given the early stage of recruiting, take this all with a grain of salt. This is fun, people.
This recruiting board will be updated regularly on this site to keep you informed of the state of the class of 2025/26.
Premium Info
One last note before we jump in — if you really want to know how things stand, Colorado fans are blessed with an incredible set of insiders at 247 and Rivals. I recommend them.
Additional Note on Premium Info: No illicit sharing of said material will appear on this site. Players are listed with interested schools in their profiles or social media; this information is public. Commitments are by definition public. If you want a clearer picture than what can be gleaned from free browsing, subscribe to 247, Rivals or On3. They’re worth it.
Let’s Jump In
Quarterback
It will be very difficult for the Buffs to recruit a high-level QB in the 2025/2026 class after the commitment of 5 star QB Julian Lewis last year. However, it always makes sense to try to bring a QB in every class so it wouldn’t surprise me to see the Buffs try to bring in a lesser-recruited player that is willing to sit behind Lewis for at least a couple of years. Semaj Beals and Romin Seymour are two names to watch.

Wide Receiver
Colorado has shown an ability to attract high-level WRs during the Deion Sanders era, and there’s no reason to expect that not to continue. CU signed 3 true freshman WRs this past recruiting season (Adrian Wilson, Quinton Gibson and Quanell Farrakhan). CU probably takes only 1 or 2 WRs in the 2025/2026 class.

Running back
There were no true freshmen RBs or transfer RBs in the last class, so this is a real position of need. Expect the Buffs to add a running back in the Spring transfer portal – even though, there still will be a need for a young back so expect CU to add at least one, and probably more, running backs from the 2025/2026 class.

Tight End
CU signed 2 true freshman TE last year (Corbin Laisure and Zane DeSouza). This is still a position of real need, so if there’s a blue chip TE available, expect the Buffs to jump.

Offensive Line
Last year, Colorado signed 3 true freshman offensive lineman. I suspect that this number will only increase going forward as the Buffs have realized how difficult it is to build an offensive line comprised primarily of transfers. I wouldn’t be surprised to see if the Buffs sign 4+ freshmen linemen in this class. Brock Kolojay, Zykie Helton and Deacon Schmitt are names to watch out for.
