“Lost some. Gained clarity,” McFadden wrote in an Instagram comment as he entered the transfer portal.

Colorado has made rebuilding the offensive line a priority, blending portal experience with young pieces it can develop. McFadden fits that vision. He brings size, movement, and four full years of eligibility into a room still taking shape.
