Colorado football added two defensive commits to its 2026 recruiting class on Thursday.
The first recruit was three-star Texan linebacker Carson Crawford. He recently decommitted from Texas State on June 22 after his official visit with CU on June 20. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound linebacker totaled 91 tackles, 22 TFLs and nine sacks in his senior year at Carthage High School.

247Sports Composite had Crawford ranked as the No. 52 overall linebacker nationally and No. 104 player out of Texas. Crawford announced his commitment on social media.
“First off, I want to thank to God for putting me in the position to be able to play this game at the next level. Next, I want to thank my parents and my support system for always supporting me in every decision I have made,” Crawford wrote in his announcement on X. “Next, I want to thank my coaches for helping me along this journey. With all this being said, I will be committing to the University of Colorado.”
The Buffaloes added their second commit of the day just hours after Crawford flipped his commitment. Three-star defensive back D’Montae Tims committed to Colorado after decommitting from Missouri back in April. The Tigers tried to make a second push for the DB, but Colorado swooped in and earned his commitment after his visit on June 13.

According to 247Sports Composite, he is the No. 95 overall safety in the 2026 class and No. 134 prospect in Florida. He chose Colorado over strong programs, including Georgia and Miami, as well as other Big 12 schools such as Iowa State and Kansas State.
Head coach Deion Sanders and Colorado added their seventh and eighth recruits of the 2026 class on Thursday. With the two new commits, the Buffaloes’ recruiting class now ranks No. 88 nationally, but still last in the Big 12. The Buffs have already added four commits in July, with offensive Tackle Xavier Payne and linebacker Colby Johnson being the others.
