Not particularly long after pulling three-star ILB Zephaniah Maea from the greater Las Vegas area, the Buffaloes are back in The Meadows looking to land another defensive prospect from that neck of the woods.
Three-star 2021 defensive tackle Braezhon Ross out of Desert Pines High School is the aforementioned recruit and he recently released a Top 9 list that featured Colorado. Ross is a 6-foot-3, 260-pound defensive lineman whom Chris Wilson offered back in early April. In terms of offers Ross has announced, CU is the most recent one.
In total, he has 17 scholarship offers, many of which are courtesy of big Power Five programs. His offer sheet includes five Pac-12 schools, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Penn State among others. Colorado joined Minnesota, Georgia, Florida, San Diego State, West Virginia, Arizona State, Southern California and Penn State in the Top 9.
Skip to about the 1-minute mark of this video, from the 2020 Rivals Camp held in Los Angeles, to get a brief look at Ross up against 6-foot-7, 290-pound OT Jaxon McBride. Fellow Buffs targets Nick Dimitris and Elia Migao are also featured in the video.

Outlook right now is hard to gauge but Ross was one of the earlier guys Wilson extended an offer to and in the times I've talked to the former, Wilson's extensive college and NFL coaching history has come up often as something impressive / a positive for the Buffs in this recruiting battle. I'll be interested to see his next trimmed list.
