BIG: Colorado Insider Thinks These Three Freshmen Are Turning Heads

Deion Sanders might be renowned for his transfer portal wizardry, but when Colorado turns to the high school ranks, the results are eye-catching. As spring practice heats up, freshmen like Maurice Williams, Braylon Edwards, and Carson Crawford emerge as future stars in a competitive Buffs roster, while Preston Ashley’s vocal leadership turns heads despite his newcomer status. Who from the 2026 class is ready to contribute right away, and how will the depth chart shake out against a loaded transfer group?  Jack Carlough joins Locked On Buffs to dissect Colorado’s evolving roster strategy — from heavy portal dependence to carefully targeted high school additions. The hosts debate which transfers are already making noise, with names like Ernest Campbell, Danny Scudero, Tyler Martinez, and Richard Young highlighted for their speed and productivity. Can Colorado finally find offensive line stability and linebacker consistency after last season’s struggles? QB drama stirs as Isaac Wilson’s practice reps reportedly outshine reclassified freshman Julian Lewis, raising questions about editing bias, leadership development, and the ability to digest Colorado’s creative Go-Go offense.  The show discusses Ryan Staub’s move to Tennessee and his comments on coaching differences, underscoring Sanders’ key staff upgrades and the critical importance of complementary coaching in Boulder. With a spring game on the horizon and the Buffs’ identity still taking shape, this episode delivers insight into position battles, true freshman contributors, and the impact that Colorado’s revamped coaching staff could have on a pivotal 2024 season. Is Colorado ready to command attention again, or will growing pains dictate Sanders’ second campaign? Locked On Buffs breaks down what it will take for the Buffaloes to make noise nationally and deliver the statement Sanders has been chasing.
