JUST IN: Coach Prime Makes Big Move for 5‑Star QB After Visit
**Boulder, CO** — The recruiting world is abuzz after a major development between Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders and a top-tier quarterback recruit. Following a weekend visit to Colorado’s campus, the Buffaloes’ coaching staff elevated their standing in the race for a consensus 5-star QB, signaling a serious push in the 2027 cycle.

### The Visit That Shifted the Narrative
The quarterback in question is **Kavian Bryant**, a 5-star prospect hailing from Palestine, Texas. Before his visit to Boulder, many recruiting analysts had pegged Bryant as leaning toward Texas Tech. ([Glory Colorado][1]) But after his official trip to Colorado, his assessment of the program changed dramatically.
> “Coach Prime told me that I’m his type of QB … they’re high on my list,” Bryant said after his visit. ([Glory Colorado][1])
That statement signals that the Buffaloes know they are now firmly in the conversation. The visit evidently allowed Colorado to make a strong impression on Bryant and his family.
### Why Bryant Is Such a High-Value Target
Bryant is currently ranked a consensus 5-star and sits near the top of the 2027 class overall. ([Glory Colorado][1]) As of now, he is widely viewed as the No. 2 QB in that class (behind Elijah Haven). ([Glory Colorado][1]) Securing him would mark a massive recruiting victory and serve as a potential franchise cornerstone in the post‑Shedeur Sanders era at Colorado.
Coach Prime and his staff clearly see that opportunity. With Shedeur projected to move on after this season, Colorado’s window to land a quarterback who can carry the program forward is wide open. ([Sportskeeda][2])
### The Stakes & the Challenges
That said, the road ahead is far from easy. Colorado is competing against elite programs with deeper NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) resources and traditional recruiting pull. Analysts have warned that, while Coach Prime is a magnetic recruiter, matching the financial and brand benefits of larger programs will be tough. ([Glory Colorado][1])
Still, Sanders has shown he can punch above his weight on the recruiting trail. His ability to flip high-caliber recruits has bolstered his reputation—and the Buffaloes’ appeal—even when they can’t compete dollar-for-dollar. ([Sportskeeda][2])
### What This Means for Colorado
If Colorado can land Bryant, it would constitute a foundational piece for the 2027 class and reinforce its trajectory as a rising program. ([Glory Colorado][1]) Moreover, it would send a message: that even amid financial disadvantage, Colorado can be a destination for elite talent under Sanders’ leadership.
Logistically, Bryant’s commitment would help fill one of the most important positions in college football and ease the transition following the Sanders era. ([Sportskeeda][2])
### Final Thoughts
The Bryant visit appears to have catalyzed a shift in momentum. While there are still significant hurdles ahead—namely competing offers and institutional resources—Colorado’s push is bold. Whether Coach Prime can close the deal remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the Buffs are now serious players for one of football’s most coveted recruits.
