Head coach Jim McElwain is heading into his third recruiting cycle -- second complete -- and he is following the way of what he did at Alabama in building a strong class. Colorado State brought in 26 recruits and the big name is quarterback Coleman Key from Oklahoma, and he could be a real get for the Rams as their future signal caller within a few short years.
Here is an initial look at their class of 26 players, and over at the official Colorado State website there are videos and more information on this class.
