Prosper (Texas) Walnut Grove running back Cam Newton carries a familiar name to football fans, but he’s carving his own path. On Wednesday, he landed his most notable offer to date.
The uncommitted senior has been offered by Colorado and he plans to take an official visit to Boulder this weekend. Newton announced the news via social media:
#AGTG I’m blessed to receive an D1 offer from the University of Colorado! I’ll be in Boulder this weekend for my OV. #SkoBuffs@coachpspeed@adamgorney@Marchen44@WGHSFootball@314coachswagg@MikeRoach247@samspiegs@TFloss32@RivalsHS@CUBuffsFootball@DeionSanders@2LiveCraigpic.twitter.com/y3JRJaJ0Re

It’s the first Power Four offer for the 5-foot-11, 190-pounder. The likes of Sam Houston State, Tulsa, Temple, UTEP, Navy, Army and Air Force have also extended an offer to date. Newton is currently unranked.
He made some waves as a junior in 2024, rushing for 2,007 yards and 31 touchdowns. He also caught 22 passes for three scores. Walnut Grove had a historic 2025 season, going 12-1. Newton was yet again an offensive catalyst, compiling 2,402 rushing yards, 388 receiving yards and 44 total touchdowns, per MaxPreps.
Across three seasons, Newton tallied over 6,000 total yards and 91 scores. Could he become a late addition to Colorado’s 2026 recruiting class?
