Projected roster for the Colorado football team for the fall of 2017. Players with * next to their name are verbal commitments, have yet to sign a letter of intent and therefore are not officially on the roster. Counting the verbal commitments, CU has a projected 91 scholarship players; the NCAA maximum is 85, so some attrition is expected.
