Colorado State’s Jalen Dupree on his increased role in 2025
A look at CSU running back Jalen Dupree heading into his sophomore season with the Rams.
Colorado State University’s top 25 all-time football recruits (since 2001) often had volatile outcomes despite high rankings.The list demonstrates the difficulty of projecting high school player success at the college level.
What does a recruiting ranking mean?
The reality is, projecting a high school football player into college is difficult. Yes, many of the top-rated prospects across the country do hit big. But especially in the “middle tier” where schools like Colorado State work, rankings and what they lead to are volatile.
This list shows the ups and downs with how CSU’s top-25 all-time recruits fared as Rams.
Recruiting rankings really began in the early 2000s, so this isn’t a true all-time list. Recruiting has changed drastically, and some of CSU’s all-time great recruits came before the era of rankings.
Still, it can be instructive and interesting to look back over recent times and see how the top-ranked recruits in the era of rankings fared for the Rams.
The list is compiled via the 247Sports composite rankings database of recruits back to the beginning in 2001. It is current as of commits through June 3, 2025. Transfers are not included in the rankings.
A quick explainer on the composite scores listed below: Scores are on a scale of 0 to 1.10, so a score of 0.96 is an elite-level player. Those are usually four-star recruits and the top 10% of the class. A select few have a score in the 1.0 to 1.10 range, and those are five stars and the very best of the best.
Three-stars are broken into tiers of high-three, mid-three and low-three. Almost all the players on this list are high-three star.
Here is CSU’s top-25 all-time, per the 247Sports composite:
