COLORADO FOOTBALL HIGH SCHOOL RECRUITING HOT BOARD — OFFENSE V3.0

RB KJ Edwards, the #3 RB in the nation, would give CU an explosive option out of the backfield.

[Editor’s note: This post was going to run on Monday. However, after the Spring Game this afternoon, Jay Gardenhire announced that he was going to enter the tranfser portal.

THE SPRING TRANSFER PORTAL GIVETH AND THE SPRING TRANSFER PORTAL TAKETH

Xavier Hill was on the Outland Trophy watch list last season.

SPRING ROSTER 2025 OVERANALYSIS (PT. 1 OF 2): THE FRESHMEN AND TRANSFERS

The CU football staff finally put out the new spring roster (or, as we call it, the PHONEBOOK) and we here at BuffsBlog couldn’t be more excited….because it’s good stuff, yes, but almost equally importantly — it gives us a chance to shout out The Jerk! Now, for a few quick notes on how this

POSITION INSIDER: HOW WILL CU’S INSIDE LINEBACKERS MEASURE UP IN 2025?

While Deion Sanders believes the Colorado Buffaloes defense will be better overall this upcoming season than it was last season, there is one position group that remains a question mark — inside linebacker.   While this may be contrary to public opinion, the truth is that average play from CU’s inside linebackers this upcoming season will
