After nearly two decades of being an afterthought, the Colorado Buffaloes are now arguably the most talked-about program in the country. The Buffs sent shockwaves when they hired Deion Sanders as their head coach following the 2022 season, and the media momentum has yet to slow down since Coach Prime’s arrival in Boulder. Sanders instantly rose to national prominence when he completely overhauled Colorado’s football roster via the Transfer Portal in his first few months on the job. Coach Prime’s top additions in his first football recruiting cycle at Colorado were a trio of transfers from Jackson State: Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and Shilo Sanders.
The results on the field in the first year under Sanders left a lot to be desired, which resulted in yet another overhaul of the Colorado football roster, mainly through the portal, during the 2024 recruiting cycle. The Buffs have strengthened in both sides of the ball, but with a few scholarships remaining, they are still in contact with several players on the Spring Transfer Portal.

Colorado football roster departures
One of the most notable departures from the Colorado football roster is running back Dylan Edwards. The former four-star recruit was one of the top players in Colorado’s 2023 recruiting class, and he switched to the Buffs shortly after Sanders was hired following a long commitment to Notre Dame. Edwards burst onto the college football scene, racking up 159 total yards and four touchdowns in his first game of the season against TCU.
In his only season in Boulder, Edwards showed breakaway speed and the ability to be a home run threat out of the backfield. The former Kansas High School Player of the Year rushed for a total of 321 yards and one touchdown on 76 carries, and caught 36 passes for 299 yards and four touchdowns as a freshman for the Buffs. It didn’t take long for Edwards to find a new home, as the 5-foot-10 running back committed to the Kansas State Wildcats in late April. Colorado will look to replace Edwards’ production with two veteran players acquired in the Transfer Portal, Rashad Amos and Dallan Hayden.

Colorado Football News, Lineup
Colorado added 13 new players this spring, replacing a plethora of starters who left the program. The Buffaloes had already made a big splash in the portal over the winter, adding transfers like Vanderbilt wide receiver Will Sheppard and FAU wide receiver LaJohntay Wester. They added another key player when Ohio State running back Dallan Hayden committed this spring, giving Shedeur Sanders more athletes around him.
He will also play behind a new offensive line, as four offensive linemen have committed since April 20. The Buffaloes added five offensive linemen over the winter, so they certainly tried to address one of their weaknesses from last season. Colorado’s latest transfer commitment comes from Florida A&M linebacker Johnny Chaney Jr., who was a second-team All-SWAC player last year.
