Colorado football is making moves early in the 2027 recruiting cycle, extending an offer to Houston cornerback Prince Washington on Tuesday. While the Texas native is currently unranked, his recruiting profile is heating up fast—he already holds ten offers from a mix of programs.

At 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, Washington has the ideal frame for an outside cornerback, and he's drawing attention from Power Four schools like Colorado and Houston. In-state programs Houston and North Texas appear to be early favorites, with official visits scheduled for later this summer. But the Buffs are making a strong push, led by cornerback coach Aaron Fletcher, who is serving as Washington's primary recruiter.

Landing Washington would give Colorado its second defensive back commitment in the 2027 class—a key addition as the Buffs work to build depth in the secondary. With only three commitments so far, the class is headlined by four-star quarterback Andre Adams, who has been actively recruiting other top prospects to join him in Boulder.

For a program known for its "DBU" tradition, adding a versatile corner like Washington could be a major win. Keep an eye on this recruitment as it develops—Texas cornerbacks with this kind of early offer list don't stay under the radar for long.
