Colorado's Recruiting and the Transfer Portal

Colorado has been one of the lowest ranked power conference teams in most recruiting rankings over the past couple cycles. The Buffs' 2026 class was ranked by On3 as the No. 65 class in the country. In 2025, they were ranked No. 35.

It is stunning to look at the teams ranked around Colorado in the 2026 class including the Appalachian State Mountaineers above them at No. 64. App State is a member of the Sun Belt Conference, which is nowhere near the overall level of the Big 12. Colorado's 2026 class is headlined by four-star recruit, linebacker Carson Crawford.

With recruiting cycles that have not been up to par with the better teams in the Big 12, the Buffaloes have primarily built their roster in the transfer portal. The same is true about this 2026 team. Colorado coach Deion Sanders is bringing in a staggering amount of 43 incoming transfers for the 2026 season. This was coming off the heels of losing 36 players to the portal earlier in the offseason.

There are some exciting names coming to Boulder from the portal this offseason including a pair of former Texas Longhorns that were rated as four-star transfers: wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr. and linebacker Liona Lefau.
