The college football offseason has brought changes to the University of Colorado. Deion Sanders has used the transfer portal for the Buffaloes recruitment. They have a significant roster turnover and have reloaded with 40 new commits. On the other hand, the 41 players left that from Boulder were primarily backups and depth contributors. Colorado’s new key additions promise to bolster their roster. Among the notable newcomers are standout talents like:

- Rayyan Buell: From Ohio, Buell strengthens the defensive line with 14.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks across his collegiate career.
