Longtime Buffs DL Jalen Sami enters transfer portal

Longtime #cubuffs DL Jalen Sami has entered the portal

Colorado defensive lineman Jalen Sami entered the transfer portal on Tuesday, according to college football insider Mike Farrell.

Sami, who enters the portal as a graduate transfer, becomes the latest Buff to look for greener pastures during a significant few days of roster turnover under head coach Deion Sanders.

Sami had 28 total tackles in 2022 and 83 over his four-year career in Boulder.

He’s the fifth Colorado defensive lineman to hit the portal this offseason, along with Ryan Williams, Tyas Martin, Allan Baugh and Na’im Rodman.

It remains to be seen where Sami will play his final year of eligibility, but he had offers from Ole Miss and NCAA Division II CSU-Pueblo out of high school. Sami’s future likely lies at the Division I level, but he’ll look for a place to play post-Colorado.

Linebackers Zion Magalei and Mister Williams, cornerback Tayvion Beasley and center Travis Gray also joined Sami in the portal on Tuesday.
