BOULDER, Colo. — The college football world is once again buzzing as Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes continue to make major waves in the transfer portal. The Buffaloes, under Sanders’ leadership, have landed yet another high-profile transfer, further cementing their status as one of the most active and aggressive programs in the nation when it comes to player movement.
Since taking over as head coach in late 2022, Sanders—known to fans as “Coach Prime”—has made no secret of his intentions to reshape the Colorado football program from top to bottom. After a 4-8 finish in the 2023 season, expectations are rising fast, and Sanders is moving with urgency to build a competitive roster, leaning heavily on the transfer portal as his tool of choice.
The most recent addition to the Buffaloes’ roster is a former four-star recruit and standout at a Power Five program, whose name adds further firepower to a growing list of incoming talent. While Colorado has not yet confirmed the transfer officially, multiple sources report that the player will be joining the team in time for summer workouts. This marks the 38th player added via the transfer portal since the end of the 2023 season—a staggering figure that reflects both the new reality of college football and Sanders’ willingness to fully embrace it.
“We’re not just trying to build a team—we’re building a movement,” Sanders said during a recent interview. “If you want to win, you’ve got to go out and get the right pieces. And that’s what we’re doing here.”
Critics have questioned the sustainability of relying so heavily on transfers rather than developing talent over time. However, the strategy has already produced tangible results: increased national attention, improved recruiting rankings, and a reinvigorated fanbase. Boulder is once again a destination for top-tier football talent, in part because of Sanders’ charisma, NFL pedigree, and direct approach.
More importantly, the players are responding. Several transfers from last year’s class have already emerged as key contributors, and the coaching staff appears confident that the latest crop will integrate quickly and raise the team’s competitive ceiling even further.
“Coach Prime brings energy and belief to this program,” said one incoming player. “He knows what it takes to win, and he’s surrounding us with that same mindset.”
As the Buffaloes prepare for the 2025 season, expectations are mounting. With a packed home schedule, high-profile games, and national media attention, Colorado will not be flying under the radar. Sanders knows that success will ultimately be measured in wins, but for now, the Buffaloes are building momentum at a pace rarely seen in modern college football.
Whether it translates into immediate on-field results remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes are not waiting around. They’re making moves—and the rest of college football is paying attention.
