The Colorado Buffaloes, after completing the 2025 college football season with an abysmal overall record of 3-9, would have hoped for a good transfer portal heading into the 2026 season.
However, recent developments pertaining to the Buffaloes’ transfer portal have seen a lot of outflow of players from the program, perhaps the opposite of what Deion Sanders and the Colorado-based side would have hoped for.
After losing their star wide receiver Omarion Miller following his decision to move bases ahead of the next season, freshman edge Alexander McPherson is touted to join the transfer portal.
This news has prompted a lot of fans on social media to question the issue with the Buffaloes not being able to hold on to their players.
