Colorado Football's Rollercoaster: From Hype to Exodus
9 Jan
Summary
- Colorado finished 9-4 in 2024, but stumbled to a 3-9 record in 2025.
- Over 30 scholarship players, including top performers, have left the program.
- The Buffaloes are actively recruiting new talent through the transfer portal.
Just one year after a triumphant 9-4 season fueled by national attention and high-profile transfers, the Colorado Buffaloes endured a starkly different reality in 2025. The team struggled to a 3-9 record, marked by a single conference victory and consistent outmatching on both sides of the ball, ultimately losing their final five games.
The significant performance dip has been accompanied by a massive roster turnover, with over 30 scholarship players departing since the season's conclusion. This exodus includes key figures such as leading receiver Omarion Miller and top tackler Tawfiq Byard, reflecting a broader trend of player departures.
Coach Deion Sanders has historically utilized the transfer portal for rapid roster overhauls. While Colorado has already secured 22 new transfers, the sheer volume of players leaving after a losing season presents a considerable challenge as the program aims to regain its footing.
