Touted 2026 QB Jaden O'Neal loving his time spent with Deion Sanders at Colorado

Harbor City (Calif.) Narbonne On300 2026 quarterback Jaden O’Neal spent time at Colorado this week as Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes aim to make a move in the recruitment of the coveted rising junior passer.

Oklahoma is the current On3 RPM favorite as the four-star O’Neal continues to work through his process.

“Colorado is going amazing,” O’Neal said. “One big take away is Coach Deion is old-school coach who takes much pride in character and integrity with the players he recruits.”

Besides Colorado, some of the other programs O’Neal is high on include “Oklahoma, Miami, Auburn, Washington, FSU.”

O’Neal is spending a few days in Boulder before heading to Florida State on Sunday.

“I’m loving the coach staff and how experienced they are having NFL experience truly draws my eye to this school,” he said of Colorado.

As a sophomore O’Neal completed over 60 percent of his passes for 2,475 yards and 27 touchdowns. He added another three rushing scores.

The On3 Industry ranks O’Neal as the nation’s No. 6 quarterback and No. 78 prospect overall.
