The Colorado Buffaloes sent shockwaves through the college football world when they hired NFL legend and former Jackson State coach Deion Sanders to lead their program. Sanders wasted no time putting his personal touches on the Colorado football roster and built an almost entirely new team through the college football transfer portal. Coach Prime’s most notable additions through the portal were two sons, Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders, and two-way standout Travis Hunter. Despite a strong start to the season, the Buffs stumbled down the stretch and finished with a 4-8 overall record.
Sanders once again was aggressive in rebuilding the Colorado football team for the 2024 college football season. He continued to rely heavily on player targeting in the Transfer Portal, but signed several highly touted Colorado football recruits. With only a few roster spots and scholarships still available, Sanders is hard at work putting the finishing touches on Colorado’s 2024 football roster. Who are the Buffs’ biggest additions and departures this offseason?

Colorado football roster departures
One of the Buffs’ most notable departures this offseason is Cormani McClain. The former five-star recruit was the crown jewel of Sanders’ first high school recruiting class in Boulder, but his immense talent never truly translated into success on the field. McClain was the Buffs’ 2023 starter, and in his limited action, it was easy to see why he was such a coveted recruit out of Lakeland (FL) High School.
There were some off-field concerns that arose for McClain during his lone season with the Buffs, and Sanders publicly criticized the 6-foot-2 cornerback for his punctuality, participation in team meetings and lack of understanding of the team’s defensive schemes. Even so, his departure still leaves a clear hole in Colorado’s secondary that needs to be addressed. Join BuffStampede.com for the latest on all of Colorado’s roster changes.
Colorado Football News, Lineup
Colorado has once again been extremely aggressive in the Transfer Portal this offseason. One of the Buffs’ biggest additions, literally and figuratively, was former Houston offensive lineman Tyler Johnson. Rebuilding the offensive line was Sanders’ top priority this offseason, and Johnson has the opportunity to make an immediate impact this fall.
Shedeur Sanders took a beating in 2023 and was the most sacked quarterback in Division I college football. Johnson, who began his college career at Texas before transferring to Houston, allowed just two sacks in 2023 while playing in an offensive system with many passes. Johnson will likely be an interior offensive lineman for CU. Join BuffStampede.com for the latest on all the additions to the Colorado football roster.
