Colorado hosts No. 14 Houston on Friday night, and with that, will be welcoming a familiar face.
Center Jayin “Boogie” Talib will be in Boulder for the Big 12 Showdown, representing his current class of 20 commitments. Talib is the younger brother of Buffs’ edge Yamil Talib and is the nephew of NFL All-Pro and Super Bowl 50 Champion Aqib Talib.
On Halloween, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders expressed his excitement about the Allen High School (Allen, Texas) prospect.
“I can't wait to see [Yamil’s] brother. If we get the opportunity,” Sanders said. “ He's a committee. He's a center as well. But that family is a football family, and they love the game.”
Recently, recruiting energy has taken a surge on social media, with commits posting a #PlayforPrime message on X/Twitter Wednesday. With the Buffs (3-6, 1-5 Big 12) going up against a juggernaut Cougars squad, an upset could continue to raise spirits.
The Buffs earned a new commitment this week from 6-foot-2 three-star defensive back Tavarren Wade (Lancaster, Texas). In addition, tackle Li’Marcus Jones flipped his commitment to Mississippi State but then recommitted to the Buffs.
