Kyndrich Breedlove joining Ryan Walters’ Purdue Boilermakers

Kyndrich Breedlove is set to play for Ryan Walters at Purdue

There have been a lot of changes to the Colorado Buffaloes football program since the 2023 season came to an end. Several coaches left, with the most notable being offensive coordinator Sean Lewis, who took the head coaching job at San Diego State while taking some other assistants with him.

One player who is also leaving Boulder via the transfer portal is Kyndrich Breedlove. The redshirt sophomore cornerback announced on Sunday that he has committed to play at Purdue.

Breedlove entered the portal last month after playing just one season at Colorado. He was previously at Ole Miss from 2021-22.

During his time in Boulder, he recorded 12 tackles with one forced fumble, and he filled in for Travis Hunter against Colorado State when the Buffs star left with an injury.

Against Oregon State in November, Breedlove returned a fumble on a two-point conversion for a defensive conversion, marking the first time that had happened for the Buffs since 1991.

Now, Breedlove heads to Purdue to play for former Buff Ryan Walters, who was a candidate for Colorado’s head coaching job before Deion Sanders was hired.

Tar’Varish Dawson, Kyndrich Breedlove must step up for Buffs with Travis Hunter out

Colorado shouldn’t be written off against Oregon due to Travis Hunter’s absence

Unlike in basketball, for example, a football team can survive when its best player (quarterbacks excluded) goes down with an injury. While Colorado certainly won’t be the same without cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, who technically counts as two players, the Buffs don’t deserve to be written off against Oregon.

Head coach Deion Sanders constructed this team with an abundance of talent at the skill positions and it’s now time for those behind Hunter to step up. I’m calling on wide receiver Tar’Varish Dawson and cornerback Kyndrich Breedlove, in particular. Both are likely to start this weekend and should play major roles moving forward until Hunter returns.

However, Dawson and Breedlove must also remember that nobody can truly fill Hunter’s shoes. Neither has to be Superman. Clean, consistent games with a flashy play or two will be plenty.

Other Buffs who must step up include Jimmy Horn Jr., Omarion Cooper and Carter Stoutmire (if healthy).

Colorado and Oregon kickoff at 1:30 p.m. MT on Fox.
