Transferred to Bishop Dunne (where we seem to have things working) after being All District as a WR for Royse City as a sophomore. 6'5" 220. Tons of early P5 offers. Will be one hell of a receiving TE in college. Catches everything thrown in his zip code.

Elijah Yelverton, Colorado Buffaloes, Tight End

2017: Was a first-team all-district selection at WR as a sophomore at Royse City HS

Looks like he's joined the team. Medically retired at Iowa before re-entering the portal. Was catching passes for Shedeur in one of the videos, I think they played together in HS.

Interesting. Your detective work is next level.

I'm not sure it's accurate that he medically retired (although that was reported by at least one site and the 247 article). That normally paves the way to get all 4 years paid for. I think Yelverton just hung it up. That link I posted above also states that Prime was his OC in high school.

And his twitter states he's at Colorado Football

Something I'd point out about our TE room (and, really, every position) is that if you took the bios of the guys on the CU roster who return from 2022, I'm not sure that we'd be all that excited about more than a handful of them being brought in as transfers based on their resumes. In other words, we over-rate what we've got. That said, anyone who was recruited to the Iowa TE room earns my respect for his potential and a relationship with Coach Prime tells me that his football character is well known. If he's part of the team, I'm very much ok with it being as a scholarship player and I'm over the moon if we somehow got him in as a PWO.

With a PWO, does anybody know if he’s charged in-state tuition?

Tuition would be based on wherever they graduated from high school or where the parents currently live. If you are out-of-state, that is what you pay. In-state pays in-state, being a walk-on has no bearing on tuition.
