Big 12 Football Transfer Portal Rankings After Colorado Buffaloes' Latest Signings

Coach Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes have once again compiled one of college football's best incoming transfer portal classes, and it's likely not yet complete.

In the past week alone, the Buffs have made things official with offensive tackle Andre Roye Jr. (Maryland), defensive back Noah King (Kansas State) and wide receiver Jack Hestera (Utah State), who began his college career at Colorado. "Coach Prime" currently owns 29 transfer portal commits, the fifth-most in the Big 12 Conference behind Houston (30), UCF (40), Oklahoma State (40) and West Virginia (52).

Take an updated look at where Colorado's transfer portal class ranks in the Big 12, according to 247Sports:
