Omarion Miller signed with the Buffaloes out of high school as a member of their 2023 recruiting class. He was rated as a four-star recruit and ranked as the No. 51 wide receiver in his class per 247Sports. In the portal this offseason, Miller was rated as a four-star transfer and the No. 3 wide receiver in the 2026 transfer class.

“Coming here, I already had my eyes on this place. Just of how Coach Kenny (Dillingham) has done the past couple years he’s been here,” Miller said about Arizona State. “We got on the phone and instantly got a visit up here and so, it was that easy.”

In his three seasons with Colorado from 2023-2025, Miller had 66 receptions for 1,258 yards and 10 touchdowns. In 2025, Miller lead the Buffs in receptions (45), receiving yards (808), and receiving touchdowns (8). He now will be jumping Big 12 schools and going to Arizona State.

Another former Buffaloes wideout to transfer to Arizona State in recent years was wide receiver Jordyn Tyson. Tyson played for Colorado in 2022 before transferring to Arizona State for the final three seasons of his collegiate career that spanned from 2023-2025.

In Tyson’s final two seasons with the Sun Devils, he had 136 receptions for 1,812 yards and 18 receiving touchdowns. Tyson declared for the 2026 NFL Draft and according to NFL Mock Draft Database, he is the No. 14 overall ranked player. He is projected as a first round selection.

One of Miller’s goals now is to be drafted higher than Tyson when he ends up going into the draft in his career.

“Crazy scenario. Him coming from Colorado, coming here. Me turnaround coming from Colorado and coming here,” Miller said. “ I plan to try to beat him in his draft stock next year.”

Colorado's Portal Additions

In response to losing Miller in the portal, the Buffaloes added four incoming receiver transfers of their own in former Miami (Ohio) Redhawks wide receiver Kam Perry, former Texas Longhorns wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr., former Sacramento State Hornets wide receiver Ernest Campbell, and former San Jose State wide receiver Danny Scudero.

All four of them will join the Buffs passing attack led by quarterback Julian Lewis. Lewis will be a redshirt freshman in 2026 as he only played in four games for Colorado as a true freshman in 2025.

Colorado will kick off their 2026 season on the road against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Thursday, Sept. 3. Colorado lost at home to Georgia Tech in 2025 and will seek revenge.
