Colorado isn’t leaving anything to chance and it can be seen in the way Coach Prime Deion Sanders is recruiting. There’s another piece of good news for the Colorado Buffaloes fans! The program is already leading with the number of 2024 transfer commits in 2024, and now QB Shedeur Sanders’ recent hint has everyone buzzing.

Former 4-star Kentucky Wildcats twins have pledged their allegiance to Coach Prime and the Buffs. It’s like the Buffs secured one of the best hauls this season as QB Destin Wade and EDGE Keaton Wade announced their decision on Friday to transfer to Boulder.

A recent Twitter post revealed Colorado bagging the trust and commitment of the Wade brothers who will be an excellent addition to the Buffs’ offense. Before their announcement was publicized, the Buffs QB had dropped a message about improving their “offensive side” with “a couple more pieces.” 

Despite finishing the season below average, Colorado still managed to stay on top of the game in terms of transfer commitments. With the recent addition of the Wade twins, Colorado now boasts 10 total transfer commitments, with five of them being 4-star players.  The Wade twins did not want to be separated from each other and found Colorado to be a great option for themselves.

The 4-star transfers made history at Spring Hill High School where Destin Wade was named Mr. Football as Keaton Wade led the team to the All-American Bowl. Destin Wade is a 6’3 redshirt freshman at Kentucky who started in the Music City Bowl a year ago, accounting for 16 of 30 passes for 98 yards. Keaton Wade is a 6’5 outside linebacker who played all 12 games with the Wildcats this season, recording 35 tackles and one sack.

Both of them are transferring from Kentucky after an unsatisfying season, as their father Steve Wade said, “Deion is Deion. When you talk across from him, he’s just as real as anything that he does. He’s not caught up on what people think and what people say. He’s just going to do what he says he’s going to do. I asked him what was a timeline for winning a (national) championship. He said, ‘Next year, baby, next year’ … just like that. Just like Prime.”
