The Colorado Buffaloes and Deion Sanders brought in a 40-plus player transfer portal class to completely overhaul a 3-9 roster.
Two of the players brought in made ESPN’s top 100 players of the 2025 season. Former Bowling Green Gideon ESPN Lampron landed at No. 80 on the list, while San Jose State wide receiver Danny Scudero came in at No. 61.

Scudero led the nation in receiving yards (1,291) while adding 10 touchdowns, leading to him being a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award and a second-team AP All-American. At 5-foot-9, Scudero is one of the smallest receivers in college football but seems like an ideal fit for offensive coordinator Brennan Marion’s system.
Lampron was arguably the best Group of Six linebacker as the only FBS player to record at least 100 tackles and at least 15 tackles for loss. He is an elite off-ball linebacker and is a strong candidate to start for the Buffs.
With Lampron and Scudero, Colorado secured two of the best Group of Six players, and both should be huge contributors in 2026.
