A wild week in recruiting took another turn on Wednesday for the Colorado Buffaloes, who landed a commitment from three-star safety Tavarren Wade. He announced the news on social media.

"I’m blessed and excited to announce that I am 100% COMMITTED to the University of Colorado!" he wrote.

Colorado worked quickly to land Wade, who is from Lancaster, Texas. They extended him a scholarship offer on Wednesday morning, and he was ready to commit by the afternoon. He officially visited the UCF Knights and UTEP Miners over the summer.

He is ranked as the No. 2,070 overall player and No. 205 safety in the 247Sports composite. He is the No. 279 player from Texas.

Wade is the second commitment that Deion Sanders and Co. have landed this week, with them flipping four-star offensive tackle Li'Marcus Jones from the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Tuesday. Jones flipped from Colorado to Mississippi State on Monday.

His addition gives Colorado 20 commitments in the 2027 recruiting cycle. He is their third commit at safety, joining four-star Gabe Jenkins and three-star Samari Howard. 247Sports ranks the class as the 35th best in the country and the 4th best in the Big 12.

I’m blessed and excited to announce that I am 100% COMMITTED to the University of Colorado! 🦬 🔒 @coachsjacksonjr@AllCoachJohnson@LancasterFBwebo@CoachBox6@TheCoachFletch@DeionSanders
