The Colorado Buffaloes lost eight of their last nine games in 2023 to finish Deion Sanders' first year at 4-8. However, Coach Prime has quickly become one of the biggest attractions in college football and the Colorado football roster continues to change drastically. Sanders has worked the transfer portal relentlessly since joining Colorado from Jackson State and has the seventh-ranked transfer class in the country with 40 commitments in the college football transfer portal.
The transfer portal is now closed, but there are still hundreds of available players that haven't yet committed and Sanders is sure to take every opportunity to add talent to the Colorado football depth chart. Who are some of his current Colorado football recruiting targets and how many more players will he add?

Colorado football roster departures
One of the most notable departures from the Colorado football roster is running back Dylan Edwards. The former four-star recruit was one of the top players in Colorado's 2023 recruiting class, and flipped to the Buffs shortly after Sanders was hired after being a long time Notre Dame commit. Edwards burst onto the college football scene, compiling 159 total yards and four touchdowns in his first game of the season against TCU.
In his lone season in Boulder, Edwards flashed breakaway speed and the ability to be a home run threat out of the backfield. The former Kansas High School Player of the Year rushed for a total of 321 yards and a touchdown on 76 carries, and caught 36 passes for 299 yards and four touchdowns as a freshman for the Buffs. It didn't take Edwards long to find a new home as the 5-foot-9 running back committed to the Kansas State Wildcats in late April. Colorado will look to replace Edwards' production with a pair of veteran players it acquired in the Transfer Portal in Rashad Amos and Dallan Hayden.

Colorado football news, roster
Colorado's most recent transfer addition was former Vanderbilt and Miami safety Savion Riley, a three-star recruit in the 247Sports college football recruiting rankings. Riley played 343 snaps and made 48 tackles for Vanderbilt in the fall and then was working with Miami's first-team defense in the spring after transferring. However, he went back into the transfer portal this spring and committed to Sanders and the Buffaloes on May 11.
Another May addition in the transfer portal was Michigan State offensive lineman Ethan Boyd. The three-star prospect played 22 games for the Spartans the past two seasons and he should help bolster a Colorado offensive line that allowed Shedeur Sanders to be the most-sacked quarterback in Division I last season. Boyd was also a three-star prospect coming out of high school in the Class of 2021. Join BuffStampede.com to get the latest on all of Colorado's football roster additions.
