On Monday night, the Colorado Buffaloes landed the highest touted recruit in program history in defensive end Antonio Alfano. He was rated the No. 1 recruit in the 2019 class and originally committed to Alabama.
As to why Alfano was considering a top talent, 247 Sports analyst Brian Dohn wrote:
“Potential to be a very athletic-framed 300-pounder on the next level. Plays with good leverage with an explosive first step. Has violent hands and aggressive mentality. Has the temperament you want on the defensive line. Highly competitive. Physical tackler through the ball carrier. Possesses elite edge athleticism and freakish combine testing numbers.
