Five Colorado Buffaloes Who Thankfully Didn't Enter The Transfer Portal

Our Summary
Nearly 40 players from the Colorado Buffaloes football team entered the transfer portal during the offseason, including notable All-Big 12 performers Jordan Seaton, Omarion Miller, Tawfiq Byard, and London Merritt. Despite these losses, Colorado retained key offensive players and added new talent, like former Texas wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr., under new offensive coordinator Brennan Marion.
Heading into the 2026 season, quarterback Julian "JuJu" Lewis remains a crucial asset for Colorado. After appearing in four games as a true freshman, Lewis has shown promising development and is committed to mastering Marion’s "Go-Go" offense. Wide receiver Joseph Williams, the AAC Freshman of the Year at Tulsa in 2024, continues to be a significant contributor, aiming to strengthen his connection with Lewis and new receivers.
Running back Micah Welch returns for his third season, bringing versatility to the team. Tight end Zach Atkins, a former Division II standout, seeks to capitalize on Marion's tight end
