Following visit, Houston transfer RB Alton McCaskill commits to Colorado

The #cubuffs added a playmaker to their offensive backfield

A successful visit to Boulder was all Alton McCaskill needed to give his full commitment to Colorado.

The Houston transfer running back flew in on Monday and one day later, he committed to the Buffaloes via Twitter. McCaskill, the 2021 AAC Rookie of the Year, was the highest-rated RB in the transfer portal.

Prior to missing last season due to an ACL injury, he rushed for 961 yards and had 18 total touchdowns in that stellar freshman season.

Colorado’s RB room now has some legitimate depth as McCaskill joins returners Dylan Edwards, Anthony Hankerson and Kentucky transfer Kavosiey Smoke. Plus, walk-on Charlie Offerdahl became a favorite of head coach Deion Sanders during spring ball.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Buffaloes also received a pledge from 2024 four-star athlete Aaron Butler.
