Walk-on quarterback Gavin Kuld leaving Colorado for transfer portal

Colorado has lost a quarterback to the transfer portal

Following one season with the Colorado Buffaloes, walk-on quarterback Gavin Kuld announced Thursday that he entered his name into the transfer portal.

Kuld’s next program will mark his fifth at the college level. A native of Spencer, North Carolina, he spent time at Monterey Peninsula College, Trinity Valley Community College and Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College before joining the Buffs.

Kuld appeared in two games during his lone season at Colorado. In the Buffs’ blowout loss to Washington State, the 6-foot-6, 215-pound junior completed one pass for 22 yards and threw an interception.

Behind starter Shedeur Sanders, Colorado’s QB room has undergone a few changes this offseason. Transfers Destin Wade and Walter Taylor III joined the Buffs in December, and freshman Kasen Weisman found a new home at Florida Atlantic. Ryan Staub, who impressed in last season’s finale against Utah, is well-positioned to be Colorado’s No. 2 QB.

Deion Sanders ‘unsatisfied’ with CU Buffs’ backup quarterbacks

Colorado’s backup QB spot remains up for grabs

There’s pretty much no question that Shedeur Sanders will be the starter for the Colorado Buffaloes football team this fall. He followed his father Deion Sanders from Jackson State and has a ton of potential.

But injuries are always a possibility, and the backups need to be ready for any situation. With fall camp underway and the season a couple of weeks out, Coach Prime opened up on the battle for the No. 2 QB spot, and it doesn’t sound like he’s satisfied just yet.

“I don’t know if they’ve emerged,” Sanders said at CU’s fall sports media day. “They’re doing well, but we’re still unsatisfied. It’s tough to satisfy us, our whole staff…. We’ve got to find that guy that we can trust. He’s in-house, we’ve just got to develop him.”

Coach Prime has high expectations for everybody on the team, so this isn’t entirely surprising. Besides Shedeur Sanders, the Buffs have a pair of true freshmen in Ryan Staub and Kasen Weisman who are both on scholarship. Apart from that, they have a pair of walk-ons: Gavin Kuld and Colton Allen.

Staub has been the presumed favorite but as of now, nothing has materialized.

It’s going to be a close race for the No. 2 job.
