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:
- Dallan Hayden: The former Ohio State running back had 663 rushing yards and six touchdowns over two seasons. He brings dynamic playmaking abilities to the Buffaloes’ backfield.
- Dayon Hayes: Hayes was a prized acquisition from Pitt. He adds firepower to Colorado’s front seven with 45 total stops, 10.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, and six hurries last year.
- Rayyan Buell: From Ohio, Buell strengthens the defensive line with 14.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks across his collegiate career.
