Why the sky is the limit for CU Buffs cornerback DJ McKinney | College Football Insider After what Travis Hunter showed is possible last season, no one at Colorado is putting a limit on what junior cornerback DJ McKinney can accomplish this fall in Boulder.

Travis Hunter might be gone, but the #CUBuffs still have a No. 1 cornerback capable of shutting down half the field. Meet DJ McKinney.

“I know he’s going to the NFL next year,” new WR Joseph Williams told me.

Shedeur Sanders’ NFL preseason debut appears to be over with Tyler Huntley now in the game for Cleveland. The former #CUBuffs star finishes:

14-23 passing (60.9%)
2 TDs
106.8 QB rating
4 carries for 19 yards

Not bad at all.

Huh, not a bad first half of NFL football for Shedeur Sanders. The former #CUBuffs star not looking like a fifth round pick so far. About as good as anyone could’ve asked for.

Absolutely beautifully placed pass by Shedeur Sanders for his first NFL touchdown. #CUBuffs

Colorado coach Deion Sanders says it will be 'strange' to watch son Shedeur in first NFL preseason game Deion Sanders has to admit it, it's going to be a little weird watching his son, Shedeur, make his NFL preseason debut Friday night.

Outside of 3 games when he was in the hospital in 2022, Deion Sanders has been on the sidelines for every game Shedeur Sanders has ever played. Tonight in Shedeur’s NFL preseason debut, that changes.

Why it will be “strange” for Coach Prime ⬇️

That’s a wrap from media day. A lot of great content coming this fall. Exactly 3 weeks until kickoff against Georgia Tech. New turf and repainted “Colorado” on the hill are game ready. #CUBuffs

Coach Prime on Shedeur Sanders’ preseason debut tonight: “It’s gonna be strange for both of us… I can’t wait to see him play.” #CUBuffs

Deion Sanders says the first player NFL scouts ask about when they come to #CUBuffs practice is Junior CB DJ McKinney.

Deion Sanders on how he’s improved since coming to Boulder: “I’m a better man, which makes me a better coach.” #CUBuffs

Doesn’t sound like Deion Sanders is in a rush to have QB battle settled, wants to let things play out the rest of the month and build the offense best capable of winning football games.

“Don’t underestimate (Ryan) Staub and what he brings to the table.” #CUBuffs

Coach Prime on Cherry Creek’s Arden Walker: “Arden is a dawg. He’s one of our leaders. You’re taking about a kid, a good human being… works his butt off every day in practice. He’s preparing to have a big year.” #CUBuffs

Coach Prime on Kaidon Salter: “Kaidon is a guy with multiple talents. Sometimes in practice you don’t get a chance to see how good he is because when we run the quarterback you know we can’t hit him… the kid is gonna cause havoc. It’s gonna be a totally different kind of offense.” #CUBuffs

Coach Prime on the addition of Byron Leftwich to the #CUBuffs staff: “He’s phenomenal. I’m not even equipped with words to describe what he’s brought to the table.”

Coach Prime on how he’s feeling so far through camp: “I’m healthy, I’m vibrant. I’m my old self. We walk every day after practice around campus, at least a mile.” #CUBuffs

Deion Sanders says the offensive line is standing out so far in fall camp: “They probably have 9 guys that can really start and contribute.” #CUBuffs

Good morning from Boulder. It’s #CUBuffs fall sports media day at Folsom Field and Deion Sanders is set to speak shortly, followed by QBs Kaidon Salter and Julian Lewis. Then, we’ll get breakout sessions with plenty of other players. Follow along for updates.

Not a bad NFL preseason debut for LaJohntay Wester. #CUBuffs

What is Colorado's path to Top 25 ranking after missing on coaches' poll? | Tyler’s Take The nation’s college football coaches have spoken. If the men who know more about the game than anyone else are right, the 2025 national champions will be the Texas Longhorns. Well, not exactly.

The preseason coaches' poll came out this week and it's no surprise, but the #CUBuffs weren't in the top 25.

In today's @denvergazette.com, I laid out the path for Deion Sanders' team to get back in the rankings and gave my take on who's overrated and underrated. ⬇️

Appreciate it!

CSU Rams open fall camp with clear message ahead of important season Jay Norvell woke up 45 minutes before his alarm was set to go off Thursday morning. The anticipation for the start of his fourth season at Colorado State has been building for months.

The #CSURams began fall camp Friday and Jay Norvell woke up 45 minutes before his alarm was set to go off — he was that excited for the start of year 4 in Fort Collins and the program's last in the Mountain West.

It's 'We Over Me' for Norvell in 2025.

Deion Sanders’ return from cancer elevates Colorado's fall camp | College Football Insider Junior defensive back Carter Stoutmire was thrilled to see 'family' looking like his normal self.

The #CUBuffs didn't miss a beat this summer when Deion Sanders was away from campus battling — and beating — bladder cancer. But they're happy to have Coach Prime, the person and the coach, back in Boulder.

Our #CUBuffs opponent preview series wrapped up today with the team Coach Prime and company will face in the regular season finale on Nov. 29: Kansas State.

Robert Livingston calls his defense like David Adelman draws up plays for Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
