He should enter the Buffs’ locker room as a favorite to earn heavy playing time and defensive coordinator Charles Kelly has to be thrilled.
This comes as welcome news as Colorado saw 52 scholarship players enter the transfer portal since Deion Sanders was hired as head coach in December.
Despite the mass exodus, Deion doesn’t have to do much to exceed last year as the team went 1-11 under the previous coaching regime.
