Colorado is getting in early with one of the more interesting 2028 names in the country, and this one comes with a built-in family tie to Penn State.
The Buffaloes have extended a scholarship offer to Kaleb Woseley, a cornerback from Imhotep Charter in Philadelphia. Woseley made the news public Thursday night on X, writing, “Blessed to earn an offer from the University of Colorado!” and adding #GoBuffs.
That offer matters because it arrives long before signing day, giving Colorado a chance to start building a relationship while the competition is still taking shape. Woseley’s recruitment is still very much in the early stages, and the Buffaloes are simply one more Power Four program trying to get in position.
Woseley is listed as both a cornerback and receiver at Imhotep, which was 6-1 in the latest MaxPreps listing. His size is also listed a few different ways across recruiting services, but the general picture has him around 5-foot-11 to 6-0 and 160 pounds.
The rankings are still shifting, which is no surprise for a player in the 2028 class. ESPN has him 257th nationally.
The Rivals Industry Ranking places him 278th overall and 28th among cornerbacks, while 247Sports’ Composite slots him 353rd nationally. He was also among the prospects invited to The Opening Finals this summer.
There’s another layer here, too: family. Woseley’s older brother, Kenny Woseley Jr., played at Penn State after coming out of Imhotep.
Kenny later moved to Virginia Tech for 2026, reuniting with former Penn State coach James Franklin. Over two seasons with the Nittany Lions, he recorded 15 tackles and a pass breakup.
Colorado’s offer fits the way Deion Sanders has approached recruiting. After the Buffaloes beat Georgia Tech on Sept. 3, Sanders talked about how he works with commitments, saying:
“Because somebody throws a bag at them, and we're not trying to lure them with money. We're trying to lure them with the game itself.
But I love where we are. I talk to those young men.”
“I try to talk to them every week. We do a Zoom call, and hats off to them because they're always present. And they have questions, and they were really hyped after the game.”
Sanders was talking about current commitments there, not Woseley, but the method is clear enough: get in early, build the connection, and keep the conversation going.
Woseley’s background also lines up with what Colorado has emphasized in the secondary. He plays receiver as well, and cornerbacks coach Kevin Mathis spoke this summer about how much the Buffs value that kind of versatility.
“What I really like is the versatility of the group. Those guys are able to not only play the pass but also be effective in the run game. Being able to play multiple positions is key for us, and I think we're doing a good job with that.”
For now, Colorado has opened the door. The real work starts next, because an offer is only the first step with a Philadelphia prospect who already has plenty of attention and a family history that runs straight through Penn State.

Penn State Could Be Getting A Familiar Name Back For A Key Need
Penn State may be getting a familiar name back just as the season moves into a crucial stretch. LaVar Arrington II, the son of College Football Hall of Famer LaVar Arrington, is expected to return to the football team after the bye week, giving the Nittany Lions another option as they look to shore up a need on defense. He spent last season contributing on special teams, and his return adds an intriguing layer for a roster that could use another versatile piece.
The bigger question is where he fits once he is cleared to come back. Coach Matt Campbell said the staff will decide whether Arrington II lines up at linebacker or defensive end, with the goal of putting him in the best spot to make an impact. After missing time this season because of injury, his next role could help determine not just how Penn State uses him, but how quickly he can carve out a meaningful place in the defense again.

Penn State Offense May Be Forced Into A Shakeup At Worst Time
Penn States offense is staring at a delicate stretch, and the timing is hardly ideal. Offensive coordinator Taylor Mouser pointed to a handful of issues that have slowed the unit in Big Ten play, from the lack of production in three conference losses to the absence of wide receiver Koby Howard because of injury. The Nittany Lions have also come up short too often inside the 20-yard line, turning promising drives into field goals or empty possessions instead of touchdowns.
Mouser said the staff may have to consider changes up front, while freshman receiver Amarion Jackson could also see more of the field as the offense looks for answers. Those adjustments would come as Penn State tries to clean up red zone execution, where the margin for error has become increasingly thin. The next step is finding out whether the reshuffle can spark enough consistency to matter before the schedule tightens any further. [Read more 🡒]
Penn State Fans Just Got A New Twist In The Kayne Clary Saga
Kayne Clarys legal fight with Penn State has been pulled off the board, at least for now. The former Nittany Lions basketball captain has discontinued his federal defamation and unjust enrichment lawsuit against the school, coach Mike Rhoades and others, ending a case that had accused the program of intimidation, retaliation, slander and illegal use of his Name, Image and Likeness.
The case never made it past the discovery stage, and the parties agreed to discontinue it there, leaving the dispute without a courtroom resolution. Clarys Penn State tenure had already taken a sharp turn after he was suspended and dismissed from the team, then moved on to Mississippi State and Oklahoma State, and now the focus shifts to what comes next for everyone involved.
