Houston (Texas) North Shore On300 receiver Quanell X Farrakhan Jr.<\/a><\/strong> committed to Deion Sanders<\/a><\/strong> and Colorado on Saturday during a live broadcast on the On3 YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Farrakhan chose to play in Boulder over his other finalists in Nebraska and UCLA.<\/p>\n

A four-star recruit, Farrakhan took his official to Colorado the weekend of June 21.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally just the feel when I got up there,\u201d Farrakhan said. \u201cThem treating me like family. Everything was so real down there. I\u2019m big on relationships. Ever since I got the offer from Colorado they were always checking on me making sure I\u2019m good outside of football.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farrakhan excited about the program trajectory under Coach Prime<\/h2>\n

Ranked by the On3 Industry as the nation\u2019s No. 38 receiver and No. 259 prospect overall, Farrakhan loves the excitement that surrounds Sanders and the Colorado program.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing part of what Coach Sanders has going on,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel like he has the potential to bring in key pieces he needs to go to a National Championship. I feel like me being part of that I can be part of something special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Future position coach Jason Phillips<\/a><\/strong> and assistant director of player personnel Devin Rispress led the charge in recruiting Farrakhan to Colorado.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoach Rispress always calling my phone, texting me, making sure I\u2019m good,\u201d Farrakhan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoach Phillips always contacting me to make sure I\u2019m good also. When I was down there we got to spend time together and eat and I feel Coach Phillips have a great connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farrakhan bringing dynamic ability to Boulder<\/h2>\n

Over the last two seasons Farrakhan turned 84 receptions into 1,339 yards and 19 touchdowns. He had five rushing touchdowns and a kickoff and punt return for scores as well. He looks forward to playing in Pat Shurmur\u2019s offense.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re always getting the ball out,\u201d Farrakhan said. \u201cThey\u2019re always throwing the ball. As a receiver that\u2019s what you want to be part of. Them airing the ball out is big for me. Being in that offense will help me shine at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Time spent with Sanders during his official visit was motivating.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an unbelievable experience when I had talked with Coach Prime,\u201d Farrakhan said. \u201cHe said I have to get up there and be a dog and do what I do best when I get up there. I want to showcase what I can do on the field and off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farrakhan becomes commit No. 6 for Colorado in the 2025 class<\/a>.<\/p>\n
