Kole Mathis commits to Colorado's 2024 recruiting class

Buffaloes will have a familiar in-state recruit on the books this year

Fairview Athletics

Deion Sanders and the Buffs pulled in another recruit to this year's class. Kole Mathis made it official by announcing he would be staying in Boulder on Saturday. 

Colorado will have four sets of brothers on the roster for a family affair. The 5-foot-8, 140-pound two-way standout is the younger brother of Buffaloes receiver Kaleb Mathis. Also, their father is CU's cornerback coach and former NFL star Kevin Mathis, who was a teammate of Sanders with the Dallas Cowboys. It's an FBS record for the most sets of siblings on a team. 

Mathis was at Grace Prep Academy in Arlington (Texas) and spent his senior year at Boulder's Fairview HS, racking up 31 total tackles (2 for loss), four INTs, and four PDU in 11 games. He adds depth to the cornerback position but has also played a bit as a receiver. A prototypical multi-position player that fits the Prime mold.

Technically, Mathis is the second Buffs recruit from the Centennial State in the past two years. Not terrible for an area not known for nationally ranked talent. 

With Mathis being added just days before National Signing Day, he's now the 31st player in the 2024 combined class. The majority have come via the transfer, and he's the seventh high school recruit.
