Since entering the transfer portal shortly after Colorado’s spring game wide receiver transfer Montana Lemonious-Craig has become a very popular name in the transfer portal.
The junior wide receiver has picked up offers from throughout the FBS including in no specific order; Tulane, UConn, USF, Liberty, Washington State, Arizona, Colorado State, Penn State, Oregon State, Auburn, Cincinnati, BYU, Mississippi State, California, San Diego State, West Virginia, Arkansas, and Purdue.
Lemonious-Craig saw time in 18 games over three seasons with Colorado, recording 34 receptions for 497 yards and five touchdowns. This past season, he had his best year with the program, with 23 receptions for 359 yards and three touchdowns,
It was looking like he was in for a breakout season this fall, being paired up with Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. In Saturday’s spring game, Lemonious-Craig recorded three receptions for 154 yards and a touchdown. That performance made his portal entry on Sunday a shock to many.
The 6-foot-2 wide receiver is just one of nearly 20 Colorado players to enter the transfer portal since the Buffaloes’ spring game. Overall, nearly 50 players in total have left the program since Deion Sanders took over in December.
Originally a three-star athlete out of Inglewood, California, in the 2020 recruiting class, Lemonious-Craig committed to Colorado over notable offers from Arizona, Auburn, Boise State, and BYU as well as a myriad of additional Group of Five offers.
The California native will likely see more offers come his way in the upcoming days and weeks ahead as he continues to be one of the more sought-out transfer portal wide receivers.
Any NCAA football players who want to enter the transfer portal and be eligible for next season must do so by April 30 when the second offseason transfer portal window closes.
