Deion Sanders lands coveted 2025 Colorado football skill position target

Shedeur Sanders and two-way threat Travis Hunter are supposed to leave for the 2025 NFL Draft after next season, the two biggest pieces of Deion Sanders's offense for the Colorado football program but he has started to load up for the foreseeable future.

Quanell Farrakhan Jr. is a wide receiver who stands at five-foot-11.5 and weighs in at 185 pounds out of Houston, Texas. He attends North Shore High School and is listed as a 4-star, according to 247Sports. He's No. 36 at his position and No. 43 in the state — he has the talent, no doubt.

However, what he said about his decision to play for Sanders is a great look for the entire program.

"Really just the feel when I got up there," Farrakhan said (h/t Athlon Sports). "Them treating me like family. Everything was so real down there. I'm big on relationships. Ever since I got the offer from Colorado they were always checking on me making sure I’m good outside of football.

"Everything was so real down there" is huge to hear a recruit say about a school — loyalty and relationships between players and coaches are extremely huge factors in becoming a winning team. These are the kinds of characteristics that tend to get shadowed more times than not — it goes beyond the schematics of football.

Who will Quanell Farrakhan Jr. join in the 2025 Colorado football recruiting class?

Farrakhan will be joining TE Corbin Laisure, Jay Gardenhire-Crooks, and Chauncey Gooden on the offensive end. Mantrez Walker and Alex Graham are the only ones committed on the defensive end. These six players stand as the class of 2025 for Coach Prime.

As time goes by there should be more names added to that list. Sanders will work his way to making it happen.

It would be hard to pass up the chance to play for a former athlete who experienced many downs as much as ups. His stories shared with players are invaluable to not only making them better players but better human beings.
