Deion Sanders said he was bringing his own luggage and one player on the Colorado team has decided to take his talents elsewhere.
According to Matt Zenitz of On3, Colorado quarterback Owen McCown has entered the transfer portal just days after the new coach’s speech. Deion Sanders, who’s the new Buffaloes head coach, said that Shedeur Sanders will be their quarterback next season.
“To Buff Nation, I would like to thank you for your unwavering support and welcoming me with open arms,” McCown wrote on Twitter.
“To Coach Dorrell, Coach Sanford, Coach Dodson, and the rest of the support staff, thank you for everything you have done for me both on and off the field.
“For my teammates, you will always be brothers to me and I will cherish the memories we shared. With that said, I intend to enter the transfer portal.”
