As Coach Primе is gеaring up for the Black and Gold Day, hе is sеt for a dеfеnsivе boost from thе transfеr portal through his “no-visit” approach. But sudden unеxpеctеd dеparturеs, likе 5-star CB Cormani McClain and RB Alton McCaskill, caught him off guard.
With 14 players leaving the program consеcutivеly, Coach Prime and Colorado are facing a void that needs to be filled before the fall NCAA sеason kicks off. Howеvеr, in the middle of this ongoing crisis, a recent portal rumor hints at a potential commitmеnt from KU’s thrее star cornerback, offering a glimmеr of hopе in thе middle of uncеrtainty.
Kansas’ standout cornerback, Cobee Bryant recently dropped hints about his future plans, potentially involving a move to Colorado to team up with Buffaloes’ sensation Travis Hunter. A recent post on Bryant’s Facebook account, captioned “Cobee n Travis Hunter DUO” alongside a thinking emoji, has ignited speculation among fans and analysts alike.

The intrigue deepened when a Colorado fan X account named @SkoBuffsGoBuffs, highlighted Bryant’s apparent interest in joining forces with Hunter in the upcoming season, with a caption: “Would be the best CB duo in the country.”
Hunter is known for his exceptional versatility on both sides of the ball. Despite sustaining an injury, he captured attention nationwide with his stellar performance last season and even bagged the Paul Hornung Award for the Nation’s Most Versatile Player. Should Bryant indeed make the move to Colorado, it would not only bolster the Buffaloes’ defensive lineup but also create a formidable partnership in Coach Prime’s secondary.

Bryant is a 6 ft., 170-pound cornerback from Evergreen, AL who has emerged as a standout talent for the Kansas Jayhawks. Despite being initially recognized as a 3-star recruit from Hillcrest High School, Bryant’s impressive on-field skillset has elevated him to a consensus Top 5 cornerback in collegiate football. With nine interceptions under his belt over his three-year tenure at KU, Bryant’s contributions have been pivotal in securing victories for the team. Notably, he clinched All-Big 12 First Team honors in the recent season, further solidifying his status as a defensive powerhouse.
While Bryant had initially indicated his intention to stay at Lawrence for his senior season, speculations about his potential transfer have surfaced multiple times, adding fuel to the rumor mill. These rumors gained further traction following Bryant’s cryptic Facebook post.

Amidst the buzz surrounding Bryant’s potential move, social media platforms have been abuzz with opinions and analyses. Blue Bloods Bias wrote on Twitter regarding this rumor, “The move makes sense. As a DB, what better team to transfer to than CU? Improving your skills as a Defensive Back under the coaching of a great like Coach Prime would be a smart choice.” Moreover, if Bryant joins Coach Prime’s defense with Hunter, Shilo Sanders, and Preston Hodge, “Colorado’s secondary would be SCARY,” says BBB.
While no confirmation was made regarding Bryant’s transfer, the speculation surrounding his future continues to captivate Buffaloes fans.
