After landing several transfer linemen on Saturday, the Colorado Buffaloes increased the talent in the receiver and tight ends room on Sunday.
Former Cincinnati tight end Chamon Metayer and Drelon Miller, a four-star recruit from Silsbee (Texas) High School, announced their verbal commitments to CU.
Metayer caught 23 passes for 258 yards and five touchdowns as a sophomore at Cincinnati this past season.
A four-star recruit out of North Miami (Fla.) High School in 2021, Metayer spent three seasons with the Bearcats. Listed by Cincinnati at 6-foot-5, 240 pounds, he redshirted in 2021 and appeared in six games in 2022, making one catch for 32 yards. He was one of the Bearcats’ stars of the spring game last year before his breakout campaign.
Listed at 6-0, 190 pounds by 247Sports.com, Miller has 44 scholarship offers and chose CU over LSU, Texas A&M, USC and others.
Miller, who visited CU earlier this month, was ranked as the No. 13 receiver in the country for the 2024 class by the 247Sports composite rankings. He’s also listed as the No. 64 overall prospect in the class.
Miller is one of 10 high school players on CU’s commitment list with the Dec. 20 signing day around the corner. CU’s average player rating of 91.08 leads the future Big 12.
