Colorado football offered 2028 three-star athlete Keith Nolen Jr. on Thursday as the program looks to get a head start on its 2028 recruiting class.
Nolen Jr. is ranked as the No. 359 overall prospect in the 2028 class, the No. 26 athlete and the No. 8 player from the state of Virginia. He holds offers from 11 schools, including Duke, Kentucky, Maryland, Rutgers, South Carolina, Syracuse, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and UMass.

In his sophomore season, he primarily played wide receiver and on special teams. Nolen racked up 14 receptions for 367 yards and four touchdowns, averaging a whopping 26 yards per catch.
Nolen, at 6-foot-1, is clearly an explosive playmaker capable of breaking big plays. Similar to many players Colorado and coach Deion Sanders have recently offered, Nolen looks like the prototypical wide receiver/cornerback two-way player who seems to be a perfect match for a CU program that perfected Travis Hunter‘s usage.
Colorado’s 2028 class currently has no commitments, although it is very early on in that cycle. Most focus has been on building up the Buffaloes’ 2027 recruiting class, which has just three commitments so far.
