The Colorado Buffaloes’ long list of incoming transfer players will surely make a massive difference in year one under new coach Deion Sanders.
Jackson State QB Shedeur Sanders and cornerback Travis Hunter are the two biggest names of the portal season for Colorado, and both will have an immediate impact.
However, a couple of other transfer payers have been making strong impressions early on, according to Clint Brewster of 247Sports.
Those players include former USF WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Dartmouth DL Shane Cokes and Florida OL Yousef Mugharbil. One other player turning heads and expected to be a significant addition is Alabama LB Demouy Kennedy
Hearing some transfers have already made very strong first impressions at Colorado: Jimmy Horn Jr (USF) Shane Cokes (Dartmouth) Yousef Mugharbil (Florida)
They also believe Alabama transfer LB Demouy Kennedy has high draft pick capabilities when fully healthy.

Cokes should be an immediate contributor on the defensive line, which is refreshing after Colorado had a disastrous year on that side of the ball.
On offense, Horn figures to be one of Shedeur Sanders’ favorite offensive weapons.
However, there might still be some question marks regarding Mugharbil. He was a four-star recruit out of high school but didn’t play a single snap during his two seasons with the Gators. Nonetheless, all of those players, and Kennedy, are making impressions early on.
The spring game will be in April and with an anticipated sold-out crowd, the excitement is very real in Boulder once again.
