Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes land top-4 QB recruit in 2025 - ESPN

Colorado added an important recruit Friday when ESPN Junior 300 quarterback Antwann Hill Jr. announced his commitment to Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes.

Hill is the No. 49 prospect overall in the 2025 class and the No. 4 quarterback in the cycle as well. He's a 6-foot-5, 215-pound recruit from Houston County High School in Warner Robins, Georgia, who had offers from Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, LSU, Florida State and plenty of others.

He had recently taken a visit to Colorado for its game against Stanford on Oct. 13, which was a big part of what got him to commit.

«The crowd, fans yelling my name, saying, 'We want AJ,» Hill said. «That was one thing I haven't seen before and I wasn't expecting from that visit. So, I mean, everything really just surprised me.

»That felt good, because it's a very supportive fan base that's all behind the team."

His commitment is significant for Sanders and his staff because Hill is the first top-300 high school quarterback to pick Colorado since Sanders' arrival as head coach. Sanders was able to get his son Shedeur Sanders to transfer from Jackson State, but the staff has not added a potential replacement until now.

"[The coaches] really think I really fit their scheme, what they got going on up there. Coach [Sean] Lewis, Coach Prime, they really want me to take over once Shedeur leaves, so I mean, I'd be the next guy up that will be a highly ranked quarterback to get that position," Hill said. «And I feel like I'd be good learning from Shedeur. Just taking notes from him, taking his leadership skills and putting them into mine. Really, they were saying, be ready to take over once Shedeur leaves because I'm the next man up.»

Hill has size, talent and has put up some impressive numbers so
