Get ready for a star-studded CU Buffs spring game in Boulder. The buzz is growing for the revamped team’s April 25-27 showcase of their talent. Last year’s game was an unforgettable debut for Coach Prime, who brought more sales for the event than anyone could imagine. The head coach bought in WWE legend and Hollywood superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The Rock wasn’t the only A-lister as Lil Wayne hyped up the crowd and even led the Buffaloes onto the field with his concert. 

The excitement is building for Coach Prime’s team this year, too. After a recent win over Devin Haney, boxing sensation Ryan Garcia confirmed his attendance. With star power like this, the CU Buffs spring game promises to be unmissable.

Deion Sanders Jr. recently stirred up excitement for the Colorado spring football game with an Instagram video. He posed the question to star boxer Ryan Garcia, “Are you coming to the spring game?” and Garcia’s enthusiastic response, “Yes Sir!” was infectious. Fresh from his thrilling win with three powerful knockdowns, Garcia is primed to bring that same energy to the “Black and Gold” event on April 27.

Last year, the Buffs hosted WWE legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, setting the bar high. This year, they’re bringing a different star power with Garcia, the “Golden Boy” of boxing. But Garcia won’t be alone, as other big names are expected to join Boulder’s biggest sporting event.

This year again, the rapper Lil Wayne is returning to energize the Buffs crowd. He’s expected for a concert at the CU Events Center and might even be joined by Ryan Garcia on April 27. Also, recently, Deion Sanders and The Rock got fans buzzing when they appeared together at the United Football League’s opening game. The Rock co-owns the league and was there to kick things off. And Coach Prime showed up to support his friend. Now, fans wonder if The Rock might return the favor and show up in Boulder to cheer the Colorado Buffaloes.

As of now, Colorado is anticipating a turnout of over 30,000 fans at Folsom Field this year. Despite some speculating that it might not match last year’s hype due to the Buffs’ average performance, Deion Sanders isn’t deterred. As the date draws near, keep an eye out for more big names to join the roster. It’s a classic Deion Sanders move, aiming to thrill the crowd and sell those tickets.
