With the mass exodus in Boulder, it’s further evidence the grass isn’t always greener.
In his first offseason as the Colorado head coach, Deion Sanders brought in an eye-opening number of transfers. However, following the Buffs’ jam-packed spring game, Coach Prime has seen about a quarter of his team depart, many via the same transfer portal from whence they came.
Such is the case for a former Wolverine. The past two seasons, Taylor Upshaw had the opportunity to start at the beginning of the year only to find himself usurped by the end. Still, he was quite the productive player, especially in 2022. His interception against rival Ohio State was the final nail in the coffin for the Buckeyes.
Upshaw transferred to Colorado this offseason, but appears to already have had enough of Boulder. He’s back in the transfer portal, one semester into his tenure there.
Colorado EDGE Taylor Upshaw has re-entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, per @mzenitz.

It will be interesting to see where Upshaw lands. He certainly has a lot of upside and should be a starter at a vast majority of schools who could use more edge rushing talent.
