Blocker is the No. 454 overall prospect and No. 47 cornerback in the 2023 cycle, according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-player/football/2023/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">On3 Consensus</a>, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The 5-foot-10.5, 160-pound defensive back was previously committed to the Utes. He backed off his pledge to Utah on Nov. 23. 



The Utes received an official visit from Blocker on June 24. Meanwhile, he has scheduled officials to <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/tcu-horned-frogs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TCU</a> (Dec. 9) and USC (Dec. 16). Additionally, the four-star took an unofficial visit to Alabama on Nov. 26. 



Less than two hours before revealing his top schools, the Buffaloes offered Blocker. Colorado currently has one cornerback commit in their <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/colorado-buffaloes/football/2023/industry-comparison-commits/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2023 recruiting class</a> in Downey (Calif.) St. Pius X-St. Matthias Academy three-star <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jordan-shaw-66007/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Shaw</a>.



Blocker has an On3 NIL Valuation of <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/cj-blocker-154642/nil/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$14.9K</a>. 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.
