The Colorado Buffaloes just keep on hitting home runs in the transfer portal.
On Monday morning, the Buffs landed former Florida State cornerback Omarion Cooper in the transfer portal, per Cooper’s Twitter profile.
This is now the third Florida State player to come to Boulder in the past week as Cooper joins Derrick McLendon and Brendan Gant as fellow former Seminoles to join FSU legend Deion Sanders at Colorado.
The Buffs saw a flurry of players leave after the spring game, but they have worked wonders in the portal despite the hectic exodus. Now, Cooper comes and joins a loaded secondary.

Cooper’s reasoning for coming to Boulder had a lot to do with Deion Sanders, per Hayes Fawcett of On3:
“What stood out was the beautiful town and landscape ! The amazing people there and the coaching staff have lots of NFL experience. Why not get coached by the best and a head coach who is from the same city as me?”
Cooper has three years of eligibility remaining and was a four-star recruit in the class of 2021. He played in 12 games at Florida State last year.
Cooper also has a relationship with CU Director of Player Development James Chaney, who coached Cooper at Lehigh Senior High School in Florida.
