Letlow made the nearly four-hour drive to Boulder last week to watch Colorado defeat Georgia. He is being recruited by the Buffs but doesn't hold any Division I scholarship offers yet. Utah, Wyoming and Northern Colorado also are actively recruiting him, with Wyoming showing the most interest to this point... Colorado began talking with Letlow during his junior year.
"He lives in the weight room," [coach Shawn] Baumgartner said. "He was the only kid that I had come in during two-a-days and he would ask for the key to the weight room and lift between practices."
And as for Treyben Letlow at Hayden, his brother informed me that he is still getting looks from OU but treyben wants to stay close to home. From what his brother tells me it is probably down between Utah and CU. I think he will probably end up at CU when it is all said and done.
Treyben Letlow might be the best prep football player in Colorado you've never heard of.
The 6-foot-4.5, 220-pounder is averaging more than 17 tackles per game this season for Hayden High School, which is located 30 miles west of Steamboat Springs on the Western Slope.
Through eight games, Letlow has recorded a total of 137 stops and two sacks.

"I got one official at CSU-Pueblo. I might try and get an official visit to Wyoming. CSU offered me a walk-on and I've been trying to get a hold of CU." Letlow is definitely considering taking the walk-on role.
"I don't really know. I wouldn't mind walking-on but getting a scholarship would be better. I feel like I have to prove myself so I am fine with that."
Certainly worth giving him an opportunity to walk on. At 6'4" 220lbs if you get him on a strength and conditioning program and he is willing to put in the work I think he could really help the team out a few years from now.
Curious why CU wouldn't invite him to walk on?
Letlow is going to wait as long as possible before making a final decision. "I want to make it right before signing day. Maybe when some other recruits start signing that is when I might get a scholarship."
PWO perhaps?
Verbal commitment to CSU-Pueblo.
Said had preferred walk-on spots to CSU and Wyoming, but got a scholarship from CSU-Pueblo.
