After narrowing down his potential destinations to 12 schools in January, four-star cornerback Dorian Barney cut his list in half.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound recruit from Carrollton (Ga.) High is down to six schools. Colorado joins Michigan, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech, Penn State and North Carolina as the final continent of suiters.
Barney, a 2026 recruit, received his Colorado offer last spring and attended the Buffaloes’ spring game last year. He is currently ranked No. 14 in the 247Sports Composite for Georgia and the No. 12 cornerback in the country.
Barney would appear to be a strong candidate to attend Colorado’s spring game again now that his former high school teammate and current Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis is in the fold.
The two-time all-state selection and MaxPreps All-American is a long, lanky corner who could disrupt any ball within his vicinity. He is also known for his hard-hitting ability, which is rare for cornerbacks these days.
A commitment from Barner would be Colorado’s first in its 2026 class, as the Buffs are currently the only team in the Big 12 without a commitment to next year’s class. Deion Sanders is known for his “late game heroics” in recruiting, but this would be a significant pickup for Sanders and Colorado.
