The Colorado Buffaloes have one of the best recruiters in the nation, Deion Sanders. A few years ago, top players coming to Boulder was a pipe dream. Now, Colorado can land any recruit, thanks to Sanders. While Shedeur Sanders has the quarterback position locked up for 2024, the program needs to prepare for life after him. They got a visit from the No. 2 overall quarterback in the 2025 class, Julian Lewis.

According to On3, Lewis is the second-best quarterback in the 2025 cycle and the ninth overall recruit in the nation. He has a verbal commitment to the USC Trojans as of August last year, but players often continue to look around. At the very least, getting to hang out with Deion Sanders for an hour is probably pretty fun. It is unclear whether the Buffaloes have a real shot at landing Lewis, but the fact that he visited is a step in the right direction.
Can Colorado Make The College Football Playoff?
Deion Sanders has remade this roster. The offensive line has been overhauled, and the program boasts one of the top transfer portal classes in the nation. Sanders has been vocal about the expectations for the 2024 season. He thinks the team should be in the College Football Playoff. It will be easier to achieve in 2024. The playoff expands to 12 teams. If the Buffaloes can make some noise in the Big 12, they could sneak in.
Getting into the College Football Playoff would be huge for the Colorado Buffaloes. The recruiting pitch becomes a lot easier when there is a championship pedigree to lean on. This is going to be a fun team to watch next season.
