Remember when Texas A&M made headline after headline during the first opening of the transfer portal back in late December? Yes, over 30 plus players have left the program due to lack of playing time, or just needing a simple change of scenery, but nevertheless, the Maroon and White were apparently doomed to repeat the dreadful 5-7 2022 campaign due to the departures.
Well, as things currently stand, The Aggies have made multiple key additions through the transfer portal, including four future contributors on defense in linebacker Jurriente Davis, and cornerbacks Tony Grimes, Sam McCall, and Josh DeBerry. However, depth is still an issue at both O-line and wide receiver, but have no need to fret Aggie fans, the Colorado Buffaloes – the most hyped preseason team in recent history, are in the midst of a fire sale at nearly every position imaginable.
Since Monday, Apr. 24, newly inducted head coach Deion Sanders has entered the “trial by fire” stage of his coaching career after 18 players entered the transfer portal, making a total of 41 since his hiring on Dec. 3rd of last year. Exactly why this is happening isn’t completely clear at the moment, but if Texas A&M and head coach Jimbo Fisher is serious about adding as much talent as possible with their remaining scholarships before the portal officially closes, look no further than those who have recently left Boulder, Colorado.
The transfer portal has again increased exponentially after Monday’s news, so here are the top former Colorado players Jimbo Fisher and his staff should keep an eye on in the next couple of weeks.
