Five-star recruit sends clear message to Deion Sanders after Colorado visit
Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are in the running for one of the top players in the 2026 recruiting class.
Five-star wide receiver Cederian Morgan visited Colorado last weekend and was in awe of the atmosphere in Boulder. He recapped the weekend with Coach Prime and his staff, telling On3's Steve Wiltfong the Buffs have a "Great shot" to land him.

"Talking to Cederian Morgan after his visit on Sunday, he said 'They got a great shot. This is my first time being there. I really enjoyed it,'" Wilting said. 'He had a great time at Colorado this weekend.'
At 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, the Alexander City (Alabama) product would be one of the highest-ranked receivers in CU history. Morgan is ranked as the No. 2 wide receiver in the class of 2026, according to 247Sports. He's also a tri-sport athlete with football, track, and basketball as part of his background.
Morgan finished junior season with 70 catches for 1,162 yards and 14 TD. He helped Benjamin Russell HS make the first round of the Alabama state playoffs in 2024. His scouting report by 247Sports Gabe Brooks is very telling of his future.

"Evaluation echoes that of a luxury sports car: big, smooth, and powerful," Brooks wrote. "Plays with obvious horsepower, accompanied by some encouraging physical refinement and nuance in regards to fluidity and locomotion. Dominant in contested scenarios as a consistent high pointer who exploits significant physical advantages vs. smaller defenders. Owns an enormous catch radius that gives a QB a large target throughout the route tree. Immensely productive with huge receiving numbers and even some limited defensive reps.
"Excellent multi-sport profile that includes averaging a double-double in hoops, an Alabama 6A high jump silver medal (6-8), and a 21.74 200-meter rep. Size and track speed suggests that another top-end gear in pads exists, and therefore consistent downfield separation ability. Shows encouraging short-to-intermediate route snap and leveraging ability, especially considering size. Uniquely gifted pass-catching target with outstanding physical tools and athletic chops. Projects as a high-major impact player with traits that suggest long-term NFL Draft high-round potential."
Morgan is between Colorado, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, and Georgia. He would give the Buffs an immediate boost in next year's class and a top target for Julian Lewis.
