Colorado RB Commit Flips to Illinois

Colorado’s 2027 recruiting class took a major hit when three-star running back Steven Alexis flipped his commitment from the Buffs to Illinois just nine days after signing — a blow especially hard for new offensive coordinator Brennan Marion’s run-heavy system. Alexis, who rushed for over 1,000 yards last season, visited the Illini and changed his mind. Now, Colorado scrambles to replace him, though they still boast a strong offensive class with QB Andre Adams, WR Jaiden Kelly-Murray, and five offensive linemen. Their next hope? Three-star RB Kylan Bobo, set to announce his decision July 1st — and Colorado’s been pushing hard since February. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
