The jewel of this group, Scott holds offers from Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, and Florida, to name a few. Right now, as many continue to discuss, Scott could effectively line up as a high school junior and see snaps at the Power Four program. Blessed with burst and flexibility, he continues to grow physically and on the field. With the potential to sign him, Colorado flips the discussion about recruiting if he puts pen to paper for Sanders.
Aggressive is the word that describes the Florida native. He breaks on the ball with single-minded anger. Subsequently, Colorado will need to battle the University of Florida for his services. The Gators are building a much-improved defense. Can the Buffaloes do enough to bring him out west? Morris is a see-ball, hit-ball carrier player. Boulder needs a player like that to give the defense teeth.
Landing this three-star would hit differently for the Buffaloes. First, he grew up 57 miles from Boulder. As a result, being close to home adds an added benefit. Next, Schmitt ranks as the first or second-ranked prospect in Colorado by various outlets.
Perhaps the most intriguing player of the half-dozen, Mueller is a work in progress. That is to say, as a former basketball player, he does not possess deep experience on the field. Yet, he brings athletic upside to the table, drawing comparisons to current Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki with length and explosive potential. If Colorado can land Mueller, they will bring another playmaker to the field.
When Bobby Petrino and Kent Austin target you for their respective campuses (Louisville, Auburn), you made waves in high school. The quarterback from Cartersville, Ga, currently leans towards Indiana and Head Coach Curt Cignetti. With a flood of offers, Colorado is kicking the tires to gauge his interest. Juju Lewis looks like the quarterback of the immediate future.
Currently a four-star offensive tackle recruit, the Tampa, Fla. native brings a seven-foot wingspan to the table. Last season, opponents tallied 43 sacks against the Buffaloes. That will not help them challenge for the Big 12.
