Four-star wide receiver Quanell X Farrakhan Jr. commits to Colorado

Head coach Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes picked up a commitment from four-star wide receiver Quanell X Farrakhan Jr. on Saturday, as announced by On3 recruiting expert Hayes Fawcett.

The No. 44 wideout in the class of 2025 ( 247Sports composite ) visited Boulder in late June along with class of 2025 quarterback Julian Lewis and others . Farrakhan was projected to commit to CU in early July by On3, which he did on Saturday.

247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks evaluated Farrakhan on Thursday, writing:

Advanced route runner with strong production against Texas 6A competition in Houston metro,” Brooks wrote. “Owns experience in all three phases with some part-time corner reps and impressive return-game context…Displays impressive route snap and late-separating ability. Consistent hands catcher who’s spatially aware of defenders and the boundary and flashes body control acumen in the air. Flashes some speed-changing nuance that enhances route-running ability and run-after-catch effectiveness, which also derives in part from sneaky wiry strength and contact balance.

Farrakhan picked Colorado over the Alabama Crimson Tide , Texas A&M Aggies and Nebraska Cornhuskers .

The 6-foot-1 receiver will finish his high school career at North Shore High School, a Texas powerhouse that went 15-1 last season. He is aiming for his fourth Texas District 13-6A first-team selection in four years.
