CU Buffs Land the Stars: 2025 Class That’s Built to Win

The Colorado Buffaloes have solidified their place in football history with one of the most impressive signing classes in recent memory. This 2025 recruiting class, featuring 14 commits with three ESPN 300 athletes, is a testament to the program’s upward trajectory as they gear up to dominate the BIG 12 Conference. From landing elite quarterbacks to powerhouse defensive linemen, the Buffs are building a team that can compete at the highest levels.

Julian Lewis – Quarterback
The crown jewel of this class, Julian Lewis, is the #2 pro-style quarterback in the nation. Standing at 6’1” and 195 lbs, Lewis hails from Carrollton, Georgia, and brings a 93 ESPN grade. His precision, leadership, and playmaking ability make him an instant impact player and a cornerstone for Colorado’s offense moving forward.

London Merritt – Defensive End
The Buffs secured the #5 defensive end in the country with London Merritt from IMG Academy in Florida. At 6’3” and 250 lbs, Merritt is a dominant force on the line, known for his explosive first step and ability to disrupt opposing offenses.

Carde Smith – Offensive Tackle
Smith, the #32 offensive tackle in the nation, brings much-needed strength to the offensive line. At 6’5” and 295 lbs, the Mobile, Alabama native is poised to protect the Buffs’ quarterbacks and anchor the trenches.

Wide Receivers
The Buffs secured three standout receivers: Quentin Gibson, Adrian Wilson, and Quanell X. Farrakhan Jr. With speed, size, and playmaking ability, this trio will provide options for deep plays and versatility in offensive schemes.

Defensive Power
Christian Hudson (#23 DT) and Alexander McPherson (#82 DE) bolster Colorado’s defensive front. Hudson’s agility and McPherson’s size (6’5”, 240 lbs) bring power and finesse to the defensive line, essential for success in the BIG 12.

Offensive Line and Tight Ends
Chauncey Gooden (#12 OG) and local standout Zayne DeSouza (#26 TE-Y) add size and talent to Colorado’s blocking and receiving units. Their presence ensures stability and creativity on offense.

This class marks a turning point for the Colorado Buffaloes. Recruiting nationally, with signees from football powerhouses like IMG Academy and Loveland High School, reflects the program’s growing reputation. Headlined by top-tier talent like Julian Lewis and London Merritt, the class combines star power with depth, addressing critical needs across all positions. Colorado’s commitment to excellence, fueled by this historic class, positions them to make waves in the BIG 12 and beyond. The Buffaloes are not just building a team—they’re creating a legacy.
