| 1 |
Brendon Austin |
OL |
Chaparral |
6-5 |
263 |
Stanford |
| Softspoken and quick to deflect praise, he’s the consensus best-available recruit from Colorado this cycle. |
| 2 |
Leilon Willingham |
LB |
Mullen |
6-2 |
240 |
Uncommitted |
| Athletic to the point that it’s scary. Whoever lands him will get a gem who could contribute early. |
| 3 |
Brock Berglund |
QB |
Valor Chr. |
6-4 |
205 |
Kansas |
| Mobile QB had a whirlwind recruitment. Can extend plays with his feet but isn’t afraid to stay in the pocket. |
| 4 |
Adonis Ameen-Moore |
RB |
Mullen |
5-10 |
215 |
Syracuse |
| Power back was top RB in the state this season. Four-year career has his name among all-time state greats. |
| 5 |
Dorian Brown |
RB |
Thompson Vy. |
6-1 |
220 |
CSU |
| Tore his ACL on the first play of the first scrimmage last summer, so not many know his name. They will. |
| 6 |
Ezekiel Bishop |
CB |
Denver East |
5-10 |
182 |
Arizona |
| Athletic defender saw most action as a LB at East, will move to cornerback in college. |
| 7 |
Marc Mustoe |
OL |
Arvada West |
6-7 |
273 |
Colorado |
| Termed a “project” by some, Mustoe’s presence at next level will grow with his size. |
| 8 |
Rayshon Williams |
WR |
Mullen |
6-1 |
190 |
UCF |
| Best wideout in the state, bar none. Defenders don’t realize how fast he is until he’s 10 yards past them. |
| 9 |
Eddie Yarbrough |
LB |
Grandview |
6-3 |
235 |
Wyoming |
| Great size to go with run-stopping instincts. His profile is lower than it should be because he waited with his recruitment. |
| 10 |
Joe Kawulok |
DE/TE |
Monarch |
6-6 |
220 |
CSU |
| Third in the line of Kawulok brothers at CSU. He was a standout on both sides of the ball but will play DE as a Ram. |
| 11 |
Brady Daigh |
LB |
Mullen |
6-2 |

Longmont |
