Deion Sanders' Aggressive Response To Losing Star Receiver to Transfer Portal

The Colorado Buffaloes lost wide reciever Omarion Miller to the transfer portal this offseason. Miller, who is now with the Arizona State Sun Devils, was the Buffs No. 1 target in 2025. Here is how Colorado has responded to this loss in the portal.

The Colorado Buffaloes will have a new look wide receivers room in 2026. Coach Deion Sanders added receivers DeAndre Moore Jr., Ernest Campbell, Danny Scudero, and Kam Perry in the transfer portal this offseason. 

Between these four wideouts, they hauled in 206 catches for 3,554 receiving yards and 28 touchdowns in 2025. Colorado lost star wideout Omarion Miller to the portal earlier this offseason, making wide receiver a need. They hope these additions can fill the void left by Miller.

DeAndre Moore Jr.

DeAndre Moore Jr. played his first three collegiate seasons for the Texas Longhorns before entering the portal and transferring to the Colorado Buffaloes. 

In 36 games played, Moore has 77 receptions for 988 yards and 11 touchdowns. 

He is rated as a four-star transfer and the No. 5 wide receiver transfer in the 2026 class per 247Sports 

Ernest Campbell

Ernest Campbell spent his freshman season in 2025 playing for the Sacramento State Hornets. He had 37 receptions for 755 yards and eight touchdowns. 

Campbell entered the transfer portal and followed former Sac State coach Brennan Marion to Boulder. Marion was hired to be the Colorado offensive coordinator this offseason. 

Campbell is rated as a three-star transfer and the No. 61 wide receiver in the 2026 transfer class.

Kam Perry is going to his third school for his fifth collegiate season. Perry played for the Indiana Hoosiers in 2022-2023 and the Miami (Ohio) Redhawks in 2024-2025 before transferring to Colorado. For his career, he has 56 receptions for 1,164 yards and six touchdowns. 

2025 was by far his most productive season as he racked up up 976 of these yards and all six touchdowns.

The Buffs No. 1 target in the 2025 was wide receiver Omarion Miller. Miller led the team in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. He totaled 45 catches for 808 yards and eight touchdowns. Earlier this offseason, Miller entered the portal and transferred to the Arizona State Sun Devils. 

It was a big loss for “Coach Prime.” Miller is rated as a four-star transfer and the No. 3 wideout in the 2026 class. 

Landing Moore, Campbell, Scudero, and Perry widens the net to find the next No. 1 wide receiver for Colorado and quarterback Julian Lewis when the 2026 season kicks off.
