Heritage's (Littleton) 2021 tight end Erik Olsen is without a doubt one of the most sought after prospects within his class in the Centennial State. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound recruit has reeled in countless high-profile offers and has begun to trim his list of options.
Back in April, he named a Top 10 that included Colorado and today, he cut some fat off the meat and announced a Top 6, featuring: Colorado, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Washington, UCLA Stanford.
It certainly goes without saying that CU's competition in protecting the borders of the state come from some of the Buffaloes' most notable historical rivals as well as fellow in-conference opponents.
Lose the battle for Olsen, and you're either going to have to deal with him in league play on a yearly basis or see him rep the detested red. Landing Zephaniah Maea and beating out the likes of SDSU and Boise State was a good start. Now it's time to see how Karl Dorrell and Co. do with a local blue chip prospect.
Olsen would be an early recruiting exclamation point for Colorado if the Buffs were to land him. If Olsen chooses CU, that'd be big in terms of momentum. Nothing attracts four-stars to your class more so than having other four stars already committed.
