Overview
- Jaiden Kelly-Murray, a four-star receiver who had been committed to South Carolina, flipped to Colorado in a May 25 announcement to become the program's sixth pledge in six days.
- Kelly-Murray told Rivals that persistent contact from Colorado's staff — including near-daily texts and calls — was a decisive factor in his switch.
- He is the first wide receiver verbal under new offensive coordinator Brennan Marion and is presented by the staff as a natural fit for Marion's vertical, one-on-one 'Go-Go' offense.
- The commitment joins recent blue-chip additions such as quarterback Andre Adams, safety Gabe Jenkins and offensive tackle Li’Marcus Jones and has pushed Colorado into reports' No. 2 spot in Big 12 2027 class rankings behind Texas Tech.
- The rapid run of late-May commitments under Deion Sanders' staff could reshape Colorado's summer recruiting battles by building momentum, giving incoming players more weapons and increasing the program's appeal to other undecided prospects.
