For Deion Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes HC, the top priority is to create a strong O-line. In order to avoid the lapses made during the 2023 season, the Buffs are bringing on some new players. The latest to join the team is 4-star wide receiver Dre’lon Miller.

Miller has turned down prospects from other major universities like LSU, USC, and Texas A&M to make this move. He had initially committed to Jimbo Fisher’s team on June 29th but de-committed back in October. He declared his commitment to the Colorado Buffaloes last Friday and is looking forward to training under Deion Sanders.

The Colorado Buffs have struck gold in their latest player signings. Dre’lon Miller, the 5-foot-11, 200-pounder has committed to the team. He visited the university in November and was completely smitten by Coach Prime’s work ethic and environment. He admitted that a major reason behind his choice is Coach Prime, saying, “Honestly, it’s Deion Sanders. He’s a coach that speaks his mind and doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He’s the exact same way as what you see on TV and has the same sense of humor.”

Miller is already a terrific player as the No.66 overall prospect in the class of 2024, with tremendous match abilities, skillsets, and agility. He is currently ranked as the country’s no.14 wide receiver and stands at no.11 recruit in Texas. Dre’lon fits nicely in Colorado’s scheme of things. Besides being smitten by Prime Time, there’s another important factor behind Miller’s recruitment.

They’re on the move to building something special and they need the pieces to make it work.” So it seems that Miller will be the starting WR for the team in the upcoming season.
