During the NCAA football transfer portal window (Dec 4, 2023, to Jan 2, 2024), Coach Deion Sanders strategically enhances the Colorado Buffaloes’ roster following a challenging 2023 season (4-8 record). With a successful track record, Coach Prime aims to replicate his previous recruiting achievements, welcoming pivotal players to shape the team’s future.

The upcoming season holds even greater promise as pivotal players prepare to join the ranks, shaping the future of the Colorado Buffaloes. Amid the transfer activities, there is also a notable player parting ways with Colorado, signaling a dynamic period of roster changes.

Jeremiah McCrimmon enters the NCAA transfer portal

Jeremiah McCrimmon, a 6-foot-6, 310-pound tackle, initially served as a preferred walk-on at Mississippi State in 2021 before transitioning to Coahoma for his second-year freshman season before committing to Colorado for the 2023 season. He, however, had decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal. “After consulting with my Family and Associates, it is to my best benefit to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal with 3. years of eligibility remaining to play,” wrote McCrimmon in a post on platform X, formerly Twitter. 

He dropped the announcement on platform X, complete with an emotional message thanking the Colorado staff and team. “I want to express my gratitude to the coaches at the University of Colorado for providing me with the opportunity to play here. I am thankful for the camaraderie and support from the staff, loyal fans, and the community during my time,” wrote the young athlete. To Coach Prime’s dismay, he is not the only promising player parting ways with Colorado.
