Four-star quarterback recruit Andre Adams, a key target for the Colorado Buffaloes, has postponed his original commitment date and will now reveal his college decision on Tuesday, April 14 at 12 p.m. CT. Adams, the No. 12 QB in the 2027 class, is choosing between Colorado, Kentucky, Florida State, and Virginia Tech.

Why it matters

Landing a top-tier quarterback recruit like Adams would be a major coup for whichever program secures his commitment. As Colorado looks to rebuild under new head coach Deion Sanders, adding a dual-threat talent like Adams could provide a significant boost. Meanwhile, Virginia Tech's new coach James Franklin is hoping to make a splash, while Kentucky and Florida State are also in the mix.

Adams, who hails from Antioch High School in Nashville, Tennessee, has thrown for over 7,500 yards and 71 touchdowns in his high school career. He is also a threat on the ground, racking up 2,316 rushing yards and 35 rushing TDs. The 4-star recruit visited Colorado earlier this month, sparking speculation that the Buffaloes could be the frontrunner for his commitment.
