The spring transfer portal is open and it gives Colorado football an opportunity to continue improving its roster ahead of the 2024 season.
Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes have been one of college football’s most active programs in the portal. Now that the 15-day window (April 16-30) for spring transfers is open, roster changes are expected all around the country.
