2024 4-star DL T.A. Cunningham meets Deion Sanders on Colorado visit
Los Alamitos (Calif.) four-star defensive lineman T.A. Cunningham spent this weekend on a visit to Colorado. He received an offer from the Buffaloes on Dec. 15.
During his trip to Boulder, he met with head coach Deion Sanders. The two took a photo, which Cunningham posted to social media.
Cunningham is the No. 38 overall prospect and No. 6 defensive lineman in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 3 player in California.
The 6-foot-6.5, 275-pound recruit has received 60 offers. He visited multiple schools this season, including Texas A&M and USC.
Since Deion Sanders became the head coach at Colorado, the Buffaloes have landed multiple blue-chip prospects. They include Derby (Kan.) four-star running back Dylan Edwards and Fort Myers (Fla.) IMG Academy 2025 four-star wide receiver Winston Watkins Jr.
Colorado’s 2024 recruiting class currently contains one player. Compton (Calif.) Leuzinger three-star wide receiver Daijon Calimon chose Sanders and his staff on Dec. 3.
Cunningham has an On3 NIL Valuation of $100K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
T.A. Cunningham On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for T.A. Cunningham:
“Big, light-footed athlete along the defensive front. Has one of the larger frames among top 2024 defensive linemen, checking in at 6-foot-6 and around 275 pounds prior to his junior season. Flashes his athleticism by making some high-level plays in pursuit. Regularly disrupts passing lanes and batted down several passes as a sophomore. Will need to continue developing his technique and hands in disengaging from blocks and as a pass rusher.”
