The Colorado Buffaloes are preparing for a possible change in their quarterback lineup and all eyes are on a promising rising star in the 2025 class. Quarterback TJ Lateef is a four-star prospect, hailing from Orange (Calif.) Lutheran and ranked as the nation’s No. 9 quarterback, the 14th player from California, and the 160th player in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite index. He has included Colorado in his top seven choices alongside Arizona, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M.

Lateef’s recent declaration places Colorado in a favorable position to secure this promising talent. “I love what they’re doing and they definitely have my attention,” expressed Lateef in a previous interview with 247Sports national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins. Lateef showcased his skills during his junior season at Orange Lutheran, completing 63% of his passes for 2,446 yards and 18 touchdowns, with seven interceptions over 11 games. His dynamic play and ranking make him a potential asset for Colorado’s quarterback slot, especially if Shedeaur Sanders decides to pursue the NFL in 2025.
