The Colorado Buffaloes continue to wreak havoc on the recruiting trail.

Within the space of 30 minutes on Thursday night, the Buffaloes turned over the commitments of London Merritt, Alexander McPherson, Carde Smith and Quentin Gibson. The four had consecutive appearances on the Nightcap show hosted by Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco.

Merritt and McPherson are both edge rushers, while Smith is an offensive tackle and Gibson is a wide receiver.

This wave of commitments comes just a week after the Buffaloes signed four-star quarterback Julian Lewis. The Buffaloes now have 15 hard commits and have the No. 32 ranked class of 2025, per 247 composite sports rankings.

Merritt is the star of Thursday’s commitments. He is the No. 144 player nationally and the No. 13 edge rusher according to the 247 composite rankings. He has a 6-foot-4 frame and weighs 250 pounds and plays for IMG Academy. He had 39 total offers and was previously committed to Ohio State.

McPherson is also in the IMG Academy and is rated as a three-star recruit by 247 composite sports rankings. He has a 6-foot-4, 240-pound frame and had 19 total offers. He was previously committed to Oklahoma State.

Carde Smith is a four-star recruit according to the composite rankings of 247 and plays at Williamson High School in Mobile, Alabama. He was previously committed to USC. Gibson is a three-star recruit from Fort Worth, Texas and had 26 total offers.
