4-Star Quanell X Farrakhan Jr. Commits to Deion Sanders, Colorado over Alabama, More

Quanell X Farrakhan Jr. has made his commitment.

The highly-touted wide receiver prospect in the class of 2025 made his collegiate pledge to Deion Sanders and Colorado, On3 Sports' Hayes Fawcett reported Saturday.

Farrakhan, a 4-star prospect according to 247Sports Composite, chose the Buffaloes over Alabama, Nebraska, Texas A&M and a handful of other big programs.

Sanders later reacted to the news in a post on X:

According to 247Sports, the Houston, Texas, native is considered the No. 312 player in the country, the No. 44 wide receiver nationally and the 48th-ranked player in the state of Texas. He adds to what is shaping up to be an impressive 2025 class for Colorado.

The Buffaloes have a pair of 4-star recruits with the addition of Farrakhan, the other being offensive lineman Chauncey Gooden, who committed to Colorado in June. The Buffs also have four 3-star recruits and the chance to continue adding talent throughout the season.

Colorado boasts a talented group for the class of 2024 with the No. 22 overall ranking, according to 247Sports. The incoming freshmen class is highlighted by 5-star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton along with some other promising prospects.

With a strong group coming in, Colorado will look to have more success than it did in the first year of the Sanders era. The Buffaloes had a strong 3-0 start to the season in 2023 but mustered a 4-8 finish.

Sanders and Colorado will begin the second year of his tenure in late August against a strong FCS opponent in North Dakota State.
