Colorado has jumped into the race for one of the earliest quarterbacks in the 2028 class, and the target is already turning heads. Trey Wright, a three-star quarterback from Texas, said on X that the Buffaloes offered him on Saturday.
Wright’s ranking may not stay there for long if his sophomore season is any indication. Playing his second year with the Lone Star High School Rangers in Frisco, Texas, he put together a huge year as a dual-threat quarterback. According to MaxPreps, Wright threw for 4,042 yards, 38 touchdowns and only seven interceptions while completing more than 67 percent of his passes.
His production on the ground was just as loud. MaxPreps lists him with 1,764 rushing yards and 16 rushing touchdowns, numbers that make his overall output even more striking.
The numbers alone make a strong case that Wright is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the 2028 class, even with the recruiting cycle still in its early stages. Doing that against Division I, 5A competition in Texas only adds to the appeal.
For Colorado, a commitment from Wright would only deepen an already crowded quarterback picture. Julian Lewis, the current starter and former five-star quarterback, is entering his redshirt-freshman season and could remain in Boulder through the 2029 season. The Buffaloes also have Andre Adams, a four-star quarterback in the 2027 class, committed, according to ESPN and Rivals.
That gives Deion Sanders and his staff a room with real long-term depth, and one that could become even more loaded if Wright eventually joins it. After a strong 2027 class, Colorado appears to be building with the future firmly in mind.
The challenge is that Wright is drawing serious national attention. He has 24 Power Four offers and 29 total FBS offers, according to 247Sports and Wright’s X account.
Among the schools in the mix are Oregon, Michigan, Clemson, South Carolina, Missouri and Florida State, Sanders’s alma mater.
Colorado has shown it can stay in the fight against programs like that on the recruiting trail, especially with its work in the 2027 class. With Sanders on the sideline and Boulder’s Rocky Mountain backdrop, the Buffaloes have a pitch that can make plenty of noise.
For now, the next step is getting Wright on campus. Until that happens, Colorado will be watching the offer sheet grow while the Texas quarterback keeps stacking up attention.

Deion Sanders Is Already Seeing Something Different From These Buffs
The first week of fall camp gave Colorados coaching staff plenty to like, starting with a controlled setting in Colorado Springs that was designed to sharpen focus and strengthen the groups bond. Deion Sanders, offensive coordinator Brennan Marion and defensive coordinator Chris Marve all came away sounding encouraged, pointing to a team that has shown a different kind of energy as camp gets underway.

Deion Sanders Sent Colorado A Message With This Unusual Camp Stop
Colorados off-campus fall camp included a stop that looked a little different from the usual football itinerary, as Deion Sanders and his team visited the U.S. Air Force Academy. Sanders was presented with a customized Air Force pilot helmet during the trip, and the Buffaloes also met with coach Troy Calhoun and academy players, getting a firsthand look at the balance of military demands and football expectations that define life there.
For a Colorado program still shaping its habits ahead of the season opener, the visit offered more than a photo opportunity. It gave the Buffaloes a chance to see a different kind of discipline and structure before heading back to Boulder to continue camp, and it fit neatly into Sanders broader approach of using every available setting to sharpen his team.
