Examining the notable recruits visiting Folsom Field for Colorado-Nebraska

The Colorado Buffaloes have an opportunity to impress quite a few visiting recruits on Saturday in their home opener against Nebraska.

From what we’ve seen on X (formerly known as Twitter), several of CU’s top targets, including many big in-state prospects, will be at Folsom Field for this Week 2 matchup. A strong performance from Colorado against a rival opponent would certainly make a strong impact on these recruits.

We also learned this week that head coach Deion Sanders is making strides with 2025 five-star quarterback Brye Underwood, who plans on visiting Boulder for a game later this month.

With a hat tip to DNVR’s Jake Schwanitz for unearthing many of these tweets, below are some of the top recruits visiting CU for Saturday’s home opener:
