You can't take anything for granted in college football recruiting in 2026.

Four-star Ackerman, Mississippi, defensive lineman committed to the in-state Ole Miss Rebels in March, and after more than three months committed, he reaffirmed that decision on Monday and claimed he was shutting down his recruitment in a post on his Instagram story.

Just one day later, he has flipped his commitment to Colorado.

Shumaker ranks as the second-best prospect in Mississippi and the No. 70 prospect nationally, per the 247Sports composite. The 6-foot-3, 270-pound prospect was coming off an official visit to Boulder this past weekend.

Shumaker becomes the highest-ranked member of Colorado's 16-man recruiting class, which currently ranks just No. 37 nationally. Coach Deion Sanders faces a potentially pivotal season after a disappointing campaign in 2025, but he at least now has a major win on the recruiting trail under his belt this year.
