Colorado football lands four 2025 commitments on Thanksgiving

On the eve of Colorado football’s regular season finale against Oklahoma State, head coach Deion Sanders and the Buffs landed four class of 2025 commitments.

Colorado’s 2025 recruiting class gained Thanksgiving pledges from EDGE London Merritt, offensive tackle Carde Smith, defensive lineman Alexander McPherson and wide receiver Quentin Gibson (h/t Hayes Fawcett of On3). With 15 commitments, including five four-star prospects, Coach Prime’s 2025 class now ranks second in the Big 12 Conference and No. 32 nationally, according to 247Sports.

Those four and others can make things official with the Buffs next week during the early signing period, which runs from Wednesday through Friday.
