The transfer portal has been very friendly to Colorado and Deion Sanders this offseason, and that continued recently. The Buffs landed a receiver in Javon Antonio who may very well take this offense to a whole other level thanks to his size at 6-foot-4, and his ability to go up and grab any pass in the vicinity. He also more than makes up for the loss of EJ Horton who elected to flip his transfer to West Virginia. The Buffs also landed a fifth Florida State transfer in Travis Jay, who should help the defense. Kevin Borba breaks down both of their potential impacts on the team.
8:57 Colorado’s transfers have been the subject of discussion throughout this entire process, but there is one in quarterback Shedeur Sanders that truly has a chance to help this program for years to come. The son of Deion was listed as a player whose stock is rising ahead of the 2023 season, and I break down why that isn’t surprising, and how the offense around him should help him ascend to being one of the best quarterbacks in the Pac-12.
13:57 Lastly, I dive into an article written by Bleacher Report about transfers who can have major impacts in 2023. I break down why they picked the players they did, and also provided some players of my own that I personally am excited to see myself. Colorado’s level of talent is unreal for 2023, and the transfer class has so many new faces that will help usher them into their era of success.
