The atmosphere in Boulder surged this weekend as elite 2026 offensive tackle Felix Ojo made his highly anticipated visit to Colorado. Ojo, a towering 6’7″, 275-pound prospect ranked No. 4 nationally and first among tackles, highlighted a loaded slate of recruits on campus.
Drawing over 49 offers—including from Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Ohio State—Ojo’s arrival underscored head coach Deion Sanders’ surging recruiting momentum. His presence ignited a buzz among Buffaloes fans and staff, marking a key moment in Sanders’ efforts to land top-tier talent in the upcoming cycle.

Ojo’s trip to Boulder sparked a wave of excitement among Colorado fans.
“Stick around, champ,” one supporter posted.
“That’s what Coach Prime needs is some outstanding offensive lineman,” another added.
Ojo, who holds 49 offers, appreciated the energy around the program, saying, “I feel like (Coach) Deion is changing the game over there at Colorado.”
The Buffaloes hope to build on the momentum from last year’s successful recruitment of five-star tackle Jordan Seaton. With no 2026 commitments, Ojo’s visit represents a significant opportunity for Sanders and his staff.

“The visits I take will be very big for me and my family,” Ojo told On3’s Chad Simmons. “I am giving every school I visit a fair shot. We will see where things stand at the end of my official visits. There could be a big change in my recruitment in a couple of months, or there may not be.”
Ojo wasn’t the only high-profile lineman on campus. Interior offensive linemen Deacon Schmitt, ranked No. 20 nationally and No. 2 in Colorado, and IMG Academy’s Breck Kolojay, ranked No. 19, also visited. Colorado is also recruiting four-star running back KJ Edwards, who holds 34 offers and a crystal ball prediction to Texas.
