CU Buffs land Charlotte transfer, two prep recruits – JS
Another piece of the defensive puzzle is underway and Colorado’s 2025 football recruiting class is coming together.
On Saturday, former Michigan and Charlotte linebacker Nikhai Green-Hill committed to the Buffaloes. Additionally, two high school players announced their verbal commitments to the Buffs and head coach Deion Sanders.
Green-Hill, listed at 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds, had 73 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble last year at Charlotte, his lone season with the 49ers.
Before moving to Charlotte, Green-Hill spent three seasons at Michigan. He made six starts in 2021 and recorded 50 tackles, but missed the 2022 season with injuries.
Three-star tight end Corbin Laisure (Bluff City, Tenn.) and three-star linebacker Mantrez Walker (Buford, Ga.) also gave their pledges to the Buffs.
CU has now committed three players for 2025, including four-star cornerback Alex Graham, who made his commitment on Friday.
The 6-5, 215-pound Laisure caught 64 passes for 774 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior last fall at Sullivan East High School. As a sophomore, he caught 30 passes for 419 yards and four touchdowns. In basketball, he averaged 16.1 points and 11.2 rebounds per game.
Laisure, a three-star prospect from 247Sports, has 14 scholarship offers, including from Arizona State, Louisville and Syracuse.
Walker, listed at 6-1, 225, had 54 tackles and four tackles for loss last season at Buford High School. Walker is rated a three-star by 247 and has 28 scholarship offers, including from Miami, Michigan, Mississippi and Stanford.
