While the Buffs haven’t signed a lot of high school players, they’ve found some gems from the prep ranks.
Colorado offensive tackle Jordan Seaton sets up to block against Central Florida defensive end Jamaal Johnson during their game Saturday in Orlando, Fla. After a full offseason of practices and figuring out a pecking order at running back, the Colorado Buffaloes opened the season on Aug. 29 with a twist.
“We have a few freshmen playing and doing a phenomenal job right now,” CU head coach Deion Sanders said last week before his Buffaloes defeated Central Florida 48-21. “I think I gave you a statistic one week of how many freshmen we played last year, even freshman walk-ons. They got in there and got some experience. So I think we’re doing a good job with the guys from high school, but also the guys from the portal.
While the Buffs haven’t signed a lot of high school players , they’ve found some gems from the prep ranks. Micah Welch is CU’s second-leading rusher through five games, with 113 yards. He also leads the team with three rushing touchdowns and is averaging 4.9 yards per carry. Welch, a three-star recruit this past year, scored twice in a 38-31 overtime win against Baylor, including the game-winner.
Although Miller has played only 47 snaps, CU has tried to find ways to get him the ball. He has eight catches for 33 yards and three rushing attempts for 11 yards. One of his catches went for a key first down in overtime against Baylor. In 2023, 14 true freshmen saw the field for the Buffs, including center Hank Zilinskas , dynamic receiver Omarion Miller and pass rusher Taje McCoy.
