4-Star WR Dre'lon Miller Commits to Deion Sanders, Colorado Over LSU, USC, More

Deion Sanders and Colorado picked up a huge commitment from the Class of 2024 on Sunday.

Dre'lon Miller, a 4-star wide receiver from Silsbee, Texas, announced that he will head to Boulder to play for the Buffaloes next season.

According to 247Sports composite rankings, Miller is the No. 64 player nationally, the No. 13 wide receiver nationally and the No. 11 player in Texas. He picked Sanders and Colorado over LSU, USC and Texas A&M.

Miller's commitment makes him the 10th Colorado commit for the Class of 2024. The Buffaloes have the No. 53 recruiting class in the nation and the No. 3 transfer ranking.

In his senior season at Silsbee High School, Miller had 1,010 receiving yards on 52 receptions, scoring 11 touchdowns in 13 games.

Miller was originally committed to play for Texas A&M in his home state, but decomitted from the Aggies after Jimbo Fisher's firing in November. He visited LSU in November and also had trips to Miami and USC over the summer.

For Miller, it was the connection he had with Sanders and the staff that drew him to Boulder.

"Just the relationship [with Sanders]," Miller told ESPN's Blake Baumgartner. "And I felt the connection instantly. You know, I feel like that was God giving me the sign."

He also feels he will mesh seamlessly into the offense alongside other receivers like Travis Hunter and Jimmy Horn Jr.

"I feel like I'll be a good part of their offense," Miller said, per Baumgartner. "Just get the ball in my hands to make plays, open up other receivers like Travis and Jimmy and have an explosive offense with the best quarterback."

Colorado has had a solid bounce back in the recruiting realm after losing a handful of commitments over the past few weeks. Sanders and the Buffaloes picked up the top offensive lineman in the Class of 2024 in 5-star Jordan Seaton earlier this week before Miller's commitment.

Colorado is looking to have a better showing in the second year of the Sanders era. After the Buffaloes' 3-0 start that included an upset against TCU in the first game of the season, they won just one more game, finishing the year 4-8.

Landing Miller on Sunday was a big step in the way of improving and Colorado is poised to see some growth in 2024.
