Rashad Amos officially flips commitment from Colorado to Ole Miss

Rashad Amos was a Buff for about three weeks

Rashad Amos added another chapter to his busy offseason on Saturday as the multi-time transfer running back officially flipped his commitment from Colorado to Ole Miss.

This marks Amos’ second transfer portal flip in the past few months. After spending last season at Miami-Ohio, he committed to Mississippi State in mid-April before flipping to Colorado about two weeks later.

Amos visited Ole Miss this past week before committing, per On3.

With the RedHawks, Amos rushed for 1,075 yards and 13 touchdowns on 13 carries in 2023. The Georgia native had spent the prior three seasons at South Carolina, seeing action in only 13 games.

Here’s what Amos wrote on social media regarding his latest flip:

“I’d like to thank everybody for the support. This has not been for the faint hearted. I’d like to thank all of the coaches that have poured into me throughout this process. I really appreciate it. Finding the best fit isn’t a simple task on or off the field. I’ve had a lot to consider thus far. So after speaking on that I would like to decommit from Colorado! Thank you to everyone.”

Colorado’s running back room now features only three scholarship players: Ohio State transfer Dallan Hayden, incoming freshman Micah Welch and former walk-on Charlie Offerdahl.

Recent Colorado commit Rashad Amos predicted to flip schools again

Rashad Amos may soon pull off the rare offseason double-flip

Recent Colorado football commit Rashad Amos could soon pull off the rare offseason double-flip.

As reported by On3 Friday morning, the 6-foot-2, 234-pound running back visited Ole Miss earlier this week and is currently projected to land with the Rebels. Amos, who played at Miami-OH last season before entering the transfer portal, was committed to Mississippi State for about two weeks before committing to the Buffs on April 26.

If Amos does commit to Ole Miss, it would represent the fifth college program of his college career. South Carolina housed Amos from 2020-22, although he only played in 13 total games with the Gamecocks.

Amos enjoyed a breakout season at Miami-Ohio this past season, rushing for 1,075 yards and 13 touchdowns on 210 carries.

On3’s Pete Nakos reported that Amos is also hearing from Miami, Ole Miss, UCF, Utah and Virginia.

Rashad Amos joins Colorado’s running back room

Colorado has rebounded nicely at running back

Just a short time ago, the Colorado Buffaloes had players such as Dylan Edwards and Sy’veon Wilkerson competing for carries at the running back position. But after Ohio State transfer Dallan Hayden joined the fold, Wilkerson and Edwards both entered the portal.

On Friday, the Buffs rebounded nicely by securing the commitment of Miami-Ohio transfer RB Rashad Amon.

Amos has bell-cow written all over him as he’s listed at 6-foot-2 and 234 pounds. Playing for the Redhawks last season, he thundered his way to 1,075 and 13 touchdowns on 210 carries, good for an average of 5.1 yards per carry. A former class of 2020 four-star recruit, Amos spent his first three seasons with the South Carolina Gamecocks, seeing spot action in the SEC.

Given his physical makeup, Amos should thrive in short-yardage situations, especially in the red zone.

Amos joins a running back room that includes Hayden, true freshman Micah Welch and walk-ons Charlie Offerdahl and Christian Sarem.

Amos was committed to Mississippi State before flipping to Colorado on Friday.
