Colorado wide receiver undergoes surgery ahead of season opener

One of Colorado’s new wide receivers underwent surgery ahead of Thursday’s season opener

Ahead of his first season with the Buffs, incoming Colorado football transfer Cordale Russell posted a picture of himself preparing for surgery on Tuesday morning.

The nature of Russell’s injury is unknown, but one would expect the former TCU wide receiver to miss a considerable amount of time. Russell committed to Colorado in December as one of head coach Deion Sanders’ first offseason transfer portal acquisitions.

Russell was practicing as recently as last week before suffering the undisclosed injury.

During Russell’s lone season with the Horned Frogs in 2023, he played in three games without recording a reception. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound redshirt freshman was a class of 2023 four-star prospect (247Sports composite) out of Mesquite, Texas.

Fortunately for the Buffs, wide receiver remains arguably their deepest position group. However, Russell’s injury could potentially open up more opportunities for true freshmen Drelon Miller and Kam Mikell.

Newcomers Cordale Russell, Colton Hood reveal Colorado uniform numbers

Incoming transfers Cordale Russell and Colton Hood revealed the uniform numbers they’ll be wearing

On their respective Instagram stories, incoming Colorado football transfers Cordale Russell and Colton Hood revealed the uniform numbers they’ll wear this upcoming season.

Russell, a redshirt freshman wide receiver who joins the Buffs via TCU, has been assigned jersey No. 15, also be worn by second-year CU punter Mark Vassett. During his lone season with the Horned Frogs, the former four-star prospect sported No. 1.

After wearing No. 24 throughout his one season with the Auburn Tigers, Hood will transition to No. 3. The 6-foot, 195-pound cornerback recorded three tackles in four games played at Auburn last year. His younger brother, Brandon, also recently joined the Buffs as an incoming freshman running back.

Colorado will likely have an offensive player sport No. 3 as well. Running back Dylan Edwards and cornerback Omarion Cooper, who both entered the transfer portal this spring, wore No. 3 last year.

Former TCU WR Cordale Russell gives commitment to Colorado

“Baby T.O.” is coming to Boulder

Last season, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders got Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens to coach up Travis Hunter. Well, Coach Prime better have Owens on speed dial because Cordale Russell, also known as “Baby T.O.,” transferred to the Buffs on Sunday.

Russell comes to Colorado by way of TCU, and he fits the bill of his nickname. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, the freshman Russell brings a lot of size to the wide receiver position. Watching his high school film, two things immediately jump off the screen. First, Russell uses his size effectively in jump ball situations. He can high-point the ball well and come down with catches over smaller defensive backs. Second, Russell should be a yards-after-catch monster for CU, especially in the bubble screen game.

Russell was a four-star athlete in the 2022 class and only spent one season at TCU, so Buffs fans should see plenty of this big wideout in the coming seasons.

Kienholz again, Ohio State signee throws second touchdown during All-American Bowl

Make it two for Lincoln #GoBucks

One, two, three, four. That’s how many touchdowns future [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] Buckeyes scored on Saturday in the All-American Bowl.

The first two were from receivers, [autotag]Brandon Inniss[/autotag] and [autotag]Carnell Tate[/autotag]. The final two were courtesy of quarterback [autotag]Lincoln Kienholz[/autotag]. His first was a scramble and throw. On the second, the dual-threat had a clean pocket and threw a dart to his receiver for a 38-yard scoring strike.

The ball was perfectly placed to [autotag]TCU[/autotag] signee [autotag]Cordale Russell[/autotag], who was hit in stride into the end zone. The game was obviously out of hand before this score, but it still showed to [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] that Kienholz can do everything at the position.

A very good showing for future Buckeyes, as they were part of 28 out of 65 total points during the game.
