The Colorado Buffaloes’ wide receivers room is extremely talented, even with the departures of Montana Lemonious-Craig and Jordyn Tyson. Where do we even begin?
The Buffs got a pair of South Florida transfers in Jimmy Horn Jr. and Xavier Weaver, not to mention two-way star Travis Hunter, Javon Antonio and Omarion Miller. There are plenty of others, too, including Willie Gaines.
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders has plenty of choices, and Buffs WRs coach Brett Bartolone recently sang the praises of Weaver (h/t Jake Schwanitz of DNVR Buffs):
“He’s got every tool to be an NFL receiver and do it at a high level,” Bartolone said. “He leads by example.”
Last season at USF, Weaver caught 53 passes for 718 yards and six scores in just nine games. Now, he joins former USF teammate Jimmy Horn Jr. and both payers are impressing at camp.
Bartolone knows what it’s like to play in the Pac-12. After all, he played college football at Washington State and led the Cougars with 53 receptions as a freshman.
This praise for Weaver is well-deserved, and Colorado’s WRs room could be a tough group to stop.
