Georgia Two-Way Player Commits to Deion Sanders and Colorado (Exclusive)
Georgia Two-Way Player Commits to Deion Sanders and Colorado (Exclusive) originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Colorado Buffaloes had a late addition for this year's roster on Saturday night. Buford (Georgia) receiver and cornerback Kyle Carpenter announced he would be Boulder bound.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder was a high school teammate of Buffs three-star linebacker Mantrez Walker. Carpenter ended last season with nine receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown in nine games. He also split time as a two-sport athlete with basketball being his secondary focus. In the first round of this year's GHSA 6A state playoffs, Carpenter finished with 17 points in Buford's win.

Don't be surprised if he tries to suit up for Tad Boyle's team as well. "If the coaches allow me to play both sports, I would love to," Carpenter told Athlon Sports.
Colorado's 2025 high school class bumps up to 14 players. Carpenter is the third Peach State prospect for the Buffs this year, along with Walker and five-star QB Julian Lewis. It's clear Sanders and his staff are sending a message to the rest of the Big 12 as next season quickly approaches. They're going to compete and recruit in the southern region of the country by any means necessary.
"The facility was like no other," Carpenter said. "The coaching staff with Coach Prime is the greatest to ever do it. Everybody in boulder just feels like family as soon as I came in."

Carpenter is ready to get to work in Boulder and says he hopes to have the opportunity to be the Buffs' next two-way star. With Travis Hunter's historic Heisman win, Sanders could start trending with players ready to be featured on both sides of the ball. Only time will tell if that happens or if 'Saucy-T' is truly a unicorn.
