Colorado in top five for 2024 four-star athlete Aaron Butler
The Colorado Buffaloes continue to be major a factor in the recruiting world. On the same day that the Buffs landed another transfer in USF WR Xavier Weaver, they also landed in the top five schools for a top 100 player in the class of 2024 on Wednesday.
Four-star athlete Aaron Butler has the Buffaloes in his final five, along with Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, and Washington, as On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported.
Butler admitted that head coach Deion Sanders is a big reason why he’s considering Colorado, which isn’t a surprise (h/t On3):
“Coach Prime, he wants dawgs imma dawg,” Butler told On3. “He’s one of the greatest players to ever play the game as I will be. I don’t think I need to say any more on that.”
On3 lists Butler as a cornerback and the Calabasas High School (California) product can do a lot of things well on the football field.
Butler was previously headed to USC before decommitting in January, and it’s worth mentioning that three Pac-12 schools are on his final list. If the Buffs land him, that could form a dangerous CB trio of Cormani McClain, Travis Hunter and Butler come 2024.

UCLA, LSU and Texas A&M were some of the programs that offered Butler but didn’t make his final cut, so the Buffs landing here is a terrific sign.
A year ago, it would have been a stunner to see Colorado listed with programs such as Georgia and Alabama, but the hiring of Coach Prime has this as a regular thing.
