Deion Sanders’ son Shedeur will probably start as Colorado’s quarterback this upcoming season. The rest of their depth chart at QB, however, is a work in progress. They took another significant step forward today by adding a new quarterback to their 2024 class.
Cathedral (Ind.) three-star QB Danny O’Neal announced this morning that he has committed to Colorado. Here is his message shared on Twitter.
“First I want to thank my parents for their endless love and support. You guys gave me every opportunity I could ask for without ever questioning a thing. I want to thank my coaches at Cathedral and the Morelli family for supporting me and making me the player I am today. Thanks to all the coaches who gave me the opportunity to continue my career for their school. Finally, I want to thank God for blessing me and allowing me to play the game I love. That being said, I will continue my athletic and academic career and the University of Colorado…”

According to the composite rankings, O’Neal (6-foot-0, 185 pounds) is 33rd among defensemen in his class and No. 6 overall in the state of Indiana.
