Colorado football extended an offer to three-star class of 2026 quarterback and Illinois commit Michael Clayton.
Clayton committed to Illinois last November and took an official visit to Champaign earlier this month. He becomes Deion Sanders and the Buffs’ 23rd offered quarterback in the 2026 class, but 17 of those recruits have already committed to programs.
The Buffs become the 33rd program to offer Clayton, who 247Sports ranks as the No. 43 quarterback in the class of 2026 and the No. 99 player from Florida.
Colorado is still busy at work in the class of 2026 cycle, adding two commitments this week to bring their class total to four. The program’s current class ranks No. 102 nationally and last in the Big 12.
Sanders and his staff will need at least one signal caller from the 2026 class, and currently, it seems that flipping an already committed recruit is the most likely path. Clayton adds another potential flip to the list.
