Colorado Lands Top Recruit Shumaker

Colorado just pulled off a major recruiting coup by landing four-star defensive lineman BenJarvius Shumaker, a Mississippi native who flipped from Ole Miss after a visit to Boulder. Standing at 63 and 270 lbs, Shumaker is now the highest-rated recruit in Colorado’s class and ranked 89th nationally. This isn’t the first time Colorado has flipped talent from Ole Miss this cycle — three-star OL Coderro McDaniel also switched. Shumaker specifically credited Dante Carter and “Coach Prime” in his announcement, showing direct influence. While Colorado’s class remains strong — currently ranked 35th nationally and 3rd in the Big 12 — they’ve also lost key players like Steven Alexis to Illinois and Jaiden Lindsay to North Carolina. With Shumaker leading the charge alongside four-star QB Andre Adams and WR Jaiden Kelly-Murray, the Buffaloes are building a formidable 2027 class and making serious noise on the recruiting trail.
