The Colorado Buffaloes are making serious moves on the recruiting trail, and their latest target is a dynamic playmaker out of Texas. On Tuesday, the program extended an offer to four-star running back Javian Jones-Priest, a standout from the 2027 class who's been turning heads in the Lone Star State.

According to 247Sports' Composite rankings, Jones-Priest is listed as the No. 362 overall prospect, the No. 27 running back in his class, and the No. 49 recruit from talent-rich Texas. The Arlington native, who suits up for Arlington Martin High School, already holds 32 other offers from powerhouse programs like Oregon, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, TCU, Wisconsin, and Iowa—making Colorado his 33rd.

Jones-Priest's junior season stats speak volumes: he rushed for 1,154 yards and 12 touchdowns on 144 carries, showcasing the kind of explosive speed and vision that make him a coveted backfield weapon. He's also got football in his blood—his father, Rafael Priest, was an All-American defensive back at TCU from 2005 to 2009, earning accolades as one of the top cornerbacks in the Mountain West Conference.

Colorado has been aggressively building its 2027 recruiting class, with offers out to 25 running backs so far. While no running back has committed yet, the Buffaloes have secured three pledges, headlined by four-star quarterback Andre Adams. For Jones-Priest, this offer adds to an already impressive list, and his excitement was clear in a social media post: "After a great conversation, I am blessed to receive my 33rd offer from the University of Colorado!"

As the Buffs continue to strengthen their recruiting pipeline, landing a talent like Jones-Priest could be a game-changer for their future backfield. Whether you're a fan tracking the next big star or just love the game, this is one name to keep on your radar.
