Jack Wilty is leaving the Buffs for the Bulls

Another departing Colorado football player has found a new home.

Three months after entering the transfer portal in January, offensive guard Jack Wilty announced his commitment to the South Florida Bulls on Monday. USF, led by first-year head coach Alex Golesh, finished 7-6 last season (4-4 American Athletic Conference).

Wilty played in 11 games, including one start in CU’s opener, during his lone season with the Buffs. The 6-foot-4, 310-pound Iowa native didn’t allow any sacks in 146 passing attempts, according to his CUBuffs.com profile.

USF will mark Wilty’s fourth different college. Before playing for head coach Deion Sanders in Boulder, he spent two years at Iowa Central Community College (2021-22) and one at Northern Illinois (2020).

Wilty joins the Bulls as a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility remaining.

Other Colorado transfers who’ve found new homes this offseason include tight ends Michael Harrison (San Diego State) and Caleb Fauria (Deleware), offensive guard Jack Bailey (Northwestern) and defensive back Kyndrich Breedlove (Purdue). Additionally, offensive tackle Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan, center Van Wells and running back Anthony Hankerson have all committed to Oregon State.

Colorado offensive lineman Jack Wilty puts name into transfer portal

Jack Wilty, who started in Colorado’s opener at TCU, is entering the transfer portal

Colorado football offensive lineman Jack Wilty announced Monday that he has entered the transfer portal.

A former junior college transfer, Wilty spent one season with the Buffs and saw action in 11 games. His lone start of the season came at right guard in Colorado’s 2023 opener at TCU.

Before joining the Buffs, Wilty spent two years at Iowa Central Community College (2021-22) and one at Northern Illinois (2020). The 6-foot-4, 310-pound junior now enters the portal as a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility remaining.

Other CU offensive linemen who’ve hit the transfer portal this offseason include center Van Wells, left tackle Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan and Jeremiah McCrimmon. Both Christian-Lichtenhan and Wells landed at Oregon State soon after entering the portal.

Meanwhile, the Buffs have landed five offensive linemen from the portal: Tyler Johnson, Justin Mayers, Yakiri Walker, Kahlil Benson and Phillip Houston. Those five, along with a few returners and five-star incoming freshman Jordan Seaton, will be led by new Colorado OL coach Phil Loadholt.
