Colorado Transfer Portal Update: CU adds Burner Ernest Campbell – Now Name the “Fun Size Four”

I was absolutely thrilled when Sacramento State WR Ernest Campbell committed to CU on Wednesday.

Why?

2 reasons.

First: the moment he walks onto Folsom Field, he’ll probably be the second-fastest player in CU football history.  The 5’9, 145-pound burner ran track at Texas A&M during his freshman year and clocked a 10.02 100-meter dash at the NCAA West First Round meet, earning All-American honors in the process.  Campbell took that track speed to Sacramento State last season and finished the season with 37 catches for 755 yards and 8 TDs —- an average of more than 20 yards per catch.  He will be a kick to watch.  [For the record, the fastest Buff ever is Cliff Branch, who ran a 10.0 100-meter dash and at one time held the NCAA championship meet record in the 100 meters.]

Second (and yes, more importantly), Campbell completes CU’s new Fun-Size Four at WR – a quartet where everyone checks in at 5’9” or shorter:  Danny Scudero (last year’s national leader in receiving yards), Kam Perry (last year he had 976 receiving yards), CU slot Quentin Gibson (last year’s national leader in kick return yards), and short king Ernest Campbell are the proud members of the club.

Having short — and very quick — wide receivers works in Brennan Marion’s Go-Go offense. This is because defenses are forced to commit defenders closer to the line of scrimmage to stop the run, therefore creating space over the middle of the field for slot receivers to operate. Additionally, quick slot-like WRs best exploit the confusion and misdirection created by the ofense’s two-back sets, forcing linebackers and safeties into mismatches over the middle where they can create chunk plays. This will be a fun offense to work.

And now, friends, it’s officially nickname season.

I’ve spent the last 24 hours trying to slap the perfect nickname on CU’s diminutive quartet – because football  has a long, proud history of wideout groups with nicknames that stick.  A few personal favorites for inspiration:  

• The Smurfs.  The Washington Redskins’ WRs pint-sized trio of Alvin Garrett, Virgil Seay (“Papa Smurf”) and Charlie Brown were known as the Smurfs, a sub-group within the larger “Fun Bunch” Redskins’ touchdown group.  Yes, that’s a lot of lore for a nickname within a nickname.  And it rules. 
• The Three Amigos.  Mark Jackson, Vance Johnson and Ricky Nattiel were a John Elway-era WR trio with a nickname that marketed itself.  And yes, I had their poster on my childhood bedroom wall. Ole!  
• The Marks Brothers.  Mark Clayton and Mark Duper, both short kings themselves, were fantastic when playing with the Dan Marino-led Miami Dolphins.
• The Posse.  Art Monk, Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders comprised one of the most famous WR trios ever for the Redskins and proved that a simple name can still be iconic. 

So with these as a blueprint, we need to name CU’s new quartet.  Here are my current best candidates that I have come up with:

• The Roomba Four
• Low Altitude
• The Booster Seat Boyz
• The Step Stool Syndicate
• The Carry-On Cartel 
• Fun-Size Four

Vote in the comments on your favorite, or drop a new suggestion to me on social media. Once we pick a winner, I’m using it relentlessly on this here blog until further notice.

Ole!

CU’s Newest Incoming Transfers – Commits Since Wednesday’s Update

 CU has added 7 transfer commits in the last 48 hours:

LB Liona Lefau (Texas)

Lefau is a huge addition to the defense.

The 6’1” 227 pound Lefau had 68 tackles, 3 TFLs and a fumble return for a touchdown for the Longhorns last season.  

He has played in 41 games in his career with the Longhorns, and  is coming off of  23 consecutive starts.  I talked to a Texas football expert and he told me it’s a “sure thing” that he’ll be an NFL linebacker. He is a very strong run defender, finishing with a 76.4 PFF grade against the run last year and a a 61.7 PFF overall grade last year.  In the 2024-25 season he finished with a 64.6 PFF grade.  He immediately gives CU a high-level, quality starting LB. CU’s linebacker trio of Gideon Lampron, Liona Lefau and Tyler Martinez will make up the best linebacker room in Boulder since Deion Sanders’ arrival.  

Cornerback Cree Thomas (Notre Dame)

The 6’3” 189-pound Thomas played 30 snaps for Notre Dame this past season, his true freshman season.  Coming out of high school, Thomas was ranked a top 500 player nationally and committed to Notre Dame over offers from Oregon, Arizona, Arizona State, Wisconsin and more.  

Cree had a 65.7 PFF grade during his limited playing time last season.  Cree should provide depth and is a developmental prospect.  He has the size and tools to become a valuable contributor during his time in Boulder. 

OL Jayven Richardson (Missouri)

The 6’6” 313-pound Richardson started two games for the Tigers in 2025, finishing with a 61.4 PFF grade. The No. 4 Junior College offensive tackle prospect in the 2024 cycle, Richardson also spent time at Hutchinson Community College.  Richardson will provide depth on the offensive line, and has two years of eligibility remaining.  

OL Taj White (Rutgers)

White started 11 games last year for the Scarlet Knights at right tackle, missing one game with an injury. White is a better run blocker than a pass blocker. He had a 66 PFF grade, making him a slightly above average lineman in the Big 10. White would add some much needed depth to the CU frontline and will probably compete with Larry Johnson for a starting role at right tackle. At worst, White will probably be the team’s backup swing tackle.

White is 6’5″ 329 pounds.  

QB Isaac Wilson (Utah)

Wilson, the younger brother of former Denver Bronco QB Zach Wilson, has completed 127 of 225 attempts with 10 TDs and 11 interceptions in his last 2 seasons at Utah.  He provides much needed depth behind JuJu Lewis.

Lewis is 6’ and 210 pounds.  He was a 4-star QB in the 2024 class, raniked the #18 QB nationally and committing to Utah over offers from BYU, Oregon, Miami (yes, at Miami), UCLA, Minnesota, Arizona and more. 

WR Ernest Campbell (Sacramento State)

The third Hornet to commit to CU this off-season, Campbell was Sacramento State’s leading WR in all 3 major receiving categories.  He has 3 years of eligibility remaining, and immediately becomes the fastest player on CU’s team and the 2^nd fastest player in CU football history.  See above for more info on Campbell.  

K Josh McCormick (Grambling)

McCormick kicked last season for Grambling, where he was 6-10 on FG attempts and 7 of 8 on extra points.  McCormick hit a 44-yard field goal to beat Jackson State this past season.  He has a long of 52 yards, so thankfully he can kick further than Mata. 

CU’s “Old” Transfers (those that committed before Wedensday and therefore are officially old-timers)

DL Santana Hopper (Tulane)

Hopper finished last season with 39 tackles and 4 sacks, earning all-conference honors for the Green Wave. Hopper is a dynamic pass rusher — he had 23 QB hurries last year. He graded out with an 80.5 PFF grade for the season (!). The 6’2″ 265 pounder previously earned all-conference honors at Appalachian State. He was ranked the #16 defensive lineman in the transfer portal by 247.

DL Tyler Moore (Coastal Carolina)

Tyler Moore is a 6′ 297-pound defensive tackle that was a part-time starter for Coastal Carolina this past season. He appeared in 6 games, recording niine tackles. His PFF grade showed that he arguably should have played more last season, as he finished last sason with a 72.3 PFF grade. Moore is a stronger run defender than he is a pass rusher. 

DL Toby Anene (North Dakota State)

Anene was arguably North Dakota State’s best player last season. He had 38 tackles and 7 sacks last season, finishing with an 83.7 PFF grade. Arguably one of the top pass rushers in his class, he had a 90.1 PFF pass rushing grade last year.  247 ranked Anene as the #205 overall transfer prospect in this year’s class and the 28th ranked edge. The 6’4″ 260 pound Anene will immediately become one of CU’s best defensive linemen. 

DL/LB Immanuel Ezeogu (James Madison)

The 6’2″ 240 pound Ezeogu had 8 tackles last season for the Dukes. He has 3 years of eligibility remaining. He finished the season with a 65.3 PFF grade. He is a physical speciem and there is a lot of physical talent here — his speed coming around the edge jumps off the film. 

DL Lamont Lester Jr. (Monmouth)

The 6’2” 230-pound Lester Jr. dominated at Monmouth, where he had 9.5 sacks and 11.5 TFLs over the last two seasons. His PFF ranking of 91.4 is among the highest PFF rankings of the season. He did struggle a bit against better teams (he had a season low 65.2 PFF grade against Delaware State) but the 6’2″ 230-pound edge is a nice addition for the Buffs.  

Lester Jr. was an FCS freshman All-American in 2025.  He has three years of eligibility remaining.

DL Yamil Talib (Charlotte)

Last year with the Charlotte 49ers, the 6’2” 240 pound Talib tallied 28 total tackles, four TFLs, 1.5 sacks, a pick and a forced fumble. 

Talib had a PFF score of 79 last season for Charlotte, the highest PFF ranking on the team’s defense. 

He started his college career in the Big 12 at Oklahoma State and has three years of eligibility remaining.

DL Dylan Manuel (Appalachian State)

Manuel is a 6’1″ 300 pounder that had 37 tackles, 3 sacks and 12 QB hurries last year for Appalachian State. Finished the season with a 73 PFF grade, ranking him 7^th among Appalachian State defenders that had at least 100 snaps on the season.

Manuel has 2 seasons of eligibility remaining. 

DL Balansama Kamara (Albany)

The 6-foot-3, 257-pound defensive end initially played two years at Temple, then he spent time at Hutchinson Community College, before enrolling at Albany. While at Albany, he graded out as their best player on either side of the ball, with a PFF grade of 83.6. He had 67 tackles and 7.5 sacks last year for Albany, and Phil Steele named him as a third-team All-American in the FCS ranks. 

Has two years of eligibility remaining.

LB Tyler Martinez (New Mexico State)

Martinez was 2nd team Conference USA member and a team captain for the Aggies. He posted 145 tackles, 3.5 TFLS and an interception over the last 2 years. Last season he had a PFF grade of 66.2, which is slightly better than average. CU will need the 6’2″ 225 pound Martinez, who has one year of eligibity remaining, to be a solid starting linebacker this upcoming season. 

LB Gideon Lampron (Bowling Green)

Lampron is a stud and will be an All-American candidate for the Buffs. He finished last season with 95 tackles and 9 QB hurries from his linebacker position, where he was a team captain and first team All-MAC. He had an 86.4 PFF grade last season (!) while earning honorable mention All-American honors from Phil Steele. Prior to his time at Bowling Green, Lampron was an FCS All-American linebacker for the Dayton Flyers. It’s fair to expect that the 6″ 220-pound Lampron will immediately become one of the best players on CU’s roster.

DB Justin Eaglin (James Madison)

Eaglin was named first team all-conference at James Madison, where he had 35 tackles, 8 PBUs and 5 interceptions last year, including one in the college football playoff vs. Oregon. Eaglin is a very strong run defender from his cornerback position. The 6’1″ 175-pound Eaglin finished the season with a very strong 75.1 PFF grade and he will immediately become a starting cornerback for the Buffs. 

DB Naeten Mitchell (New Mexico State)

Mitchell led NM State with 58 tackles last season. The 5’10” safety prospect had a 67.8 PFF grade last year. He has 2 years of eligibility remaining.  

One of Mitchell’s best games last season was against Tennessee, where he had 10 tackles, 2 pass breakups and a fumble recovery.

WR Danny Scudero (San Jose State)

Scudero, a 5’9” 174-pound WR, led the NCAAs with 88 receptions for 1,291 yards while playing on a bad San Jose State team.  Scudero was a 2^nd Team AP and Walter Camp All-American.  

Overall, Scudero had a 74 PFF grade last year, ranking as the #126 WR nationally.  He runs a 4.38 40-yard dash and has a 4.28 shuttle run.  [Regarding his shuttle time, at the NFL Combine most WRs aim for a sub-4.20 second shuttle.]  This is the 2^nd year that San Jose State has had the NCAA’s leading WR – last year Nick Nash led the NCAA in receiving yards.  Nash was not drafted in the NFL draft last year.  

Scudero transferred to San Jose State after spending time at Sacramento State, meaning that 3 of CU’s offensive portal additions thus far have spent time in the Cow Town.  Scudero has 2 years of eligibility remaining.

If nothing else, it will be fun to shout “THE SCUD MISSILE” while watching CU play next season.

WR Kam Perry (Miami (no, not that Miami))

Last year Perry had 43 receptions for 976 yards and 6 touchdowns.  The 5’9, 168-pound Perry will, along with the SCUD MISSILE and diminutive WR Quentin Gibson, give CU the ability to run the “Smurf” offense.

Perry had a 78.1 PFF grade last season, ranking #62 among all WRs.   The previous year, however, he had a PFF grade of 54.8.  

Internet reports say that Perry runs a 4.45 40-yard dash.  Perry has one year of eligibility remaining.

RB Jaquail “NyQuil” Smith (Sacramento State)

The 5’11” 170-pound Smith is an elusive back that had 76 carries for 511 yards and 5 TDs at Sacramento State last season, finishing third on the Hornets in rushing yards. 

Smith had a 81.4 PFF grade last season.  He is considered a strong WR out of the backfield and is considered a strong blocker despite his size.

Smith had 3 years of eligibility remaining. 

Like the SCUD MISSILE, “NyQuil” will make another fun nickname to shout during CU games this fall. 

RB Damian Henderson II (Sacramento State)

The junior-to-be Henderson has Colorado ties, having transferred from CSU to Sacramento State last year.  At Sacramento State this past season, Henderson rushed for 565 yards and 5 TDs, averaging 6+ yards per carry. Henderson is a power back at 6’2” 215 pounds, offering a nice contrast to NyQuil Smith.  

Henderson had a 73.4 PFF grade last season.  He has 2 years of eligibility remaining.

Transfer Portal Targets

CU still has a lot of work to do, particularly at offensive line, tight end and the defensive backfield.

Offense

Cal Poly OL Racin Delgatty.  The 6’3” 300-pound Delgatty is an interior lineman with 2 years of eligibility remaining.  He has already visited Baylor and Oklahoma State, although one source told me that Michigan is probably the most likely choice at this point.  Delgatty had a 66.9 PFF grade last season and primarily lined up at center for Cal Poly.  CU is pushing to get him on campus for a visit but Michigan probably leads.  

Ohio State OL Jayvon McFaddle. McFaddle, the cousin of current CU tackle Jordan Seaton, is a 6’3” 300-pound interior lineman.  McFaddle saw action in one game last season, and he retains four years of eligibility.  He was ranked a 4-star lineman coming out of high school in Upper Marlboro, Maryland and committed to Ohio State over offers from Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Tennessee, Penn State, Michigan and many more.  CU is trending here.  

Texas RB CJ Baxter.  Baxter is a former 5-star prospect that was ranked the #1 RB in the 2023 class.  He is currently ranked as the 9^th best RB in the portal by 247 after rushing for 196 yards on 54 carries, for a 3.6 yard per carry average.  Baxter had a 60.8 PFF ranking this past season, which is average, but a horrific 33.4 pass blocking grade.  Visited this week but now Indiana is pushing.  

Texas WR DeAndre Moore. The 6′ 192-pound Moore is a proven WR that has averaged over 500 yards receiving for Texas the last two seasons. This past season he had 38 ceptions for 532 yards and 4 TDs, averaging 14 yards per catch. Moore had a 71.8 PFF ranking last year, the highest PFF grade among Texas’ wide receivers. He could be a difference maker for the Buffs.  Visited this week but now Louisville is pushing.

Western Carolina OG Manasseh Ripert. The 6’4″ 300-pound Ripert has an 82″ wingspan and finished the season with a 70 PFF pass blocking grade (but only a 59 PFF grade overall). Ripert has 2 years of eligibility remaining.  Visited CU but not clear if he is currently a “take” for CU – also visiting Marshall and UTSA.  

Defense

Tennessee safety Boo Carter. Carter is expected to visit CU later this week, and is currently on a visit to Vanderbilt. While in Knoxville, Carter had some material off field issues. However, he played very well for Tennessee, playing in 663 snaps over the last 2 years and grading out at 64.7 this past season per PFF. The former 4.5 star HS recruit has 2 more years of eligibility. CU and Vanderbilt are trending, with Auburn and Lousiville lurking as well.

San Jose State linebacker Viti Taufatofua. The 6’3″ 260 pound Viti ranked as San Jose State’s 6th best defensive player last season with a 71.7 PFF grade in his 11 games as a starter. He had 34 tackles, 3 sacks and 17 pressures. He is ranked the #51 transfer in the portal this year and the #7 defensive lineman by 247. Was baned All-Mountain West Honorable Mention this past season. He visited 1/8 and is rumored to be a silent commitment to CU.

Vanderbilt LB Randon Fontenette. Fontenette is a 6’2″ 220 pound linebacker that had 52 tackles last season for the Commodores. The senior-to-be had a 68.1 PFF grade last season while playing in the SEC and was a 2-year starter for Vandy. Visited CU 1/7, 

Pitt LB Rasheem Biles. Biles was named 2nd Team All-ACC this past season, where he had 85 tackles. He ranked 2nd in the ACC in total tackles. The 6’1″ 216-pound Biles would give CU a fantastic linebacker duo playing alongside Gideon Lampron.  Visited CU 1/6 but Michigan lean.   

Utah DB Snowden Smith. Ranked a top 3 CB in the transfer portal, Smith had 85 tackles and 17 PBUs over the last 2 seasons. Snowden was All-Big-12 last season.  Visited CU 1/6 but a Michigan lean given Whittingham in Ann Arbor.

Boston College DL Edwin Kolenge. The 6’3″, 252 pound Kolege had 17 tackles and 1 sack last year for Boston College. He had a 66 PFF ranking this past season, ranking him 12th among BC’s defensive players with more than 100 snaps on the season.  Visited 1/5. 

New Mexico State DL Ezra Christensen. The 6’2″ 280-pound Christensen had the 3rd highest PFF score among interior DL in the FBS this season with an 88 grade. A very strong pass rusher from the interior defensive line, he finished with 27 QB hurries and 6 sacks. He has one year of eligibility remaining and started his career at Fresno State before transferring to New Mexico State. Visited 1/6 but Washington is pushing. Notre Dame also offered and is trending.

UMass DL David Onuohu. Onouhu had 42 tackles last season for the Minutemen. The 6’1″ 235-pounder had a 75.6 PFF grade last season for the 0-12 Umass football team. Visiting this week but Texas Tech and Tulsa are pushing.

Mercer DL Andrew Zock. Zook was an FCS All-American last year for Mercer, finishing the season with 20 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks. Completely dominant at FCS level, and finished the season with a 90.4 PFF grade.  Visiting this week.  CU is trending and this could be a big “win” for the Buffs.

Notre Dame DL Armel Mukam.  The 6’3″ 305-pound Mukam only played 69 snaps on Notre Dame’s defense this past season. However, he was relatively productive in his limited snaps and had a 72.8 PFF ranking. He has one year of eligibility remaining and had 11 career tackles at Notre Dame.   Rumors that he will be returning to Notre Dame. 

UCLA DL Anthony Jones.  The 6’5” 265-pound Jones had 20 tackles and 1.5 sacks last season for the Bruins.  The Las Vegas native would provide a bit more size for the currently very undersized CU defensive front.  Visiting this week but Nebraska is pushing. Damn Corndogs.

Sacramento State DL Dylan Hampsten.  Hampsten was named 2nd team All-Big-Sky this past season and led the team with 13 TFLs and 8 sacks. He had a 76.2 PFF grade. Prior to his time at Sacramento State, Hampsten spent 2 seasons at San Jose State. Hampsten has 2 years of eligibility remaining.  

Tulane DE Jordan Norman. Norman posted 28 tackles, incluidng 8 TFLs, and 6 sacks this past season for the Green Wave. The 6’4″ 250 pound Norman had a 72.1 PFF grade last season for Tulane, the 2nd highest among Tulane’s edge players.  Visited 1/4 but South Carolina and Tennessee are pushing. 

Georgia Southern DL MJ Stroud. The 6’2″ 235 pound edge earned first team All-Sun Belt this past season and finished with 15.5 TFLs, 6.5 sacks and 3 forced fumbles. Had a 73.7 PFF grade for the season, the 2nd highest on Georgia Southern’s team last year.  Visiting this week. 

Sacramento State DL Jayland McGlothen. The 6’2″ 292-pound McGlothen earned 2nd team All-Big-Sky this past season, finishing the season with 31 tackles, 9.5 TFLs and sacks. McGlothen has 2 years of eligibility remaining.  CU and Utah State are trending. 

Northern Colorado safety Cam Chapa. Chapa stared 11 games at safety for the Bears, and was named 1st team All-Big Sky this past season. He led the Big Sky in solo tackles (with 63) and totaled 4 interceptions. The Eaglecrest HS product would be a good add for the Buffs in the defensive secondary. Leaning toward Boise State. 

The Broken Record Rant #3,128

Colorado has somehow backed itself into the absurd position of needing to add a total of 48-50 players from the transfer portal this off-season. This is all the predictable result of punting on high school recruiting, misfiring on last year’s transfer evaluations, and bleeding guys out of the program (whether they arrived from high school or the portal). I’m going to ask this again – how do you create a team culture every year when 70% of the roster is comprised of new players to the program?!

….and /scene.

“Wait There’s Other CU Sports Going on Right Now?” Bullets

The banners must look great for folks getting a Pepsi. For those watching the game, though, not so much….

• I went to the CU vs. Utah basketball game on Wednesday night.  I had a couple of thoughts.  First, yes, the banners at the CU Event Center are still hung in the concourse for some idiotic reason.  Let’s move those above the seating bowl! Second, if Bangot Dak embraces a 3-and-D role, he’ll be an NBA player.  The problem is he too often thinks the offense should run through him. He’s turnover prone if he’s a high usage offensive player.  If Dak focuses on being a 3-point rim runner, however, he’s a problem.  He had a 17-point, 12 rebound game against Utah.  
• CU is now ranked 80^th in KenPom, ranking 13^th in the Big 12.  CU was picked to finish 15^th in the Big 12 in the preseason poll so….progress I guess?
• CU is shooting well this season and has an effective field goal rate of over 55%, ranking in the top 50 nationally.  Also, CU is turning the ball over on only 14.5% of possessions, ranking among the 35 lowest turnover percentages nationally.  This is almost entirely due to the strong play of point guards Barrington Hargress and Isaiah Johnson.  
• Post Malone is really, really struggling this season.  It’s past time for Alon Mitchell to replace him in the starting lineup.
• Student turnout at the CU Event Center has been mid this season.  Hopefully that starts to turn around with this Saturday’s 5 pm tip against Texas Tech.
• The CU women’s game of the year, at least from my POV, is this coming Wednesday night when CU takes on Audi Crooks and Iowa State.  The 6’3” 275-pound Crooks is an absolute unit, and she’s averaging 29 points and 7 rebounds per game.  She’s must-see TV, and I’ll be there to report back.
