Deion Sanders Lands Notre Dame CB Cree Thomas
8 Jan
Summary
- Cree Thomas, a Notre Dame transfer cornerback, joins the Colorado Buffaloes.
- Thomas is the first Power Four transfer addition to the Buffaloes' defense.
- He brings four years of eligibility and aims for a starting role.
The Colorado Buffaloes are enhancing their defense through strategic transfer portal acquisitions, with cornerback Cree Thomas from Notre Dame being their latest and most significant addition. This marks the team's first Power Four transfer commitment, signaling a strong push to elevate the defensive unit for the upcoming season. Thomas, a true freshman, appeared in three games for the Fighting Irish last season.
Standing at 6'1" and weighing 187 pounds, Thomas has four years of eligibility remaining and has expressed his intention to compete for a starting role immediately upon arriving in Boulder. After receiving 12 offers out of high school, including from Oregon, Thomas opted for Colorado to pursue greater playing time, moving from a deep cornerback room at Notre Dame to Deion Sanders' program.
Thomas becomes the Buffaloes' 17th transfer and the third player to join their secondary. He follows cornerback Justin Eaglin from James Madison and safety Naeten Mitchell from New Mexico State. This acquisition underscores Colorado's active and successful approach in the transfer portal, aiming to inject valuable talent across the roster.
