Colorado’s Deion Sanders sends message to players looking to join team in transfer portal
Several college football stars have announced they will enter the transfer portal in hopes of finding a better opportunity at another school — whether that means playing in a national championship, getting a better NIL contract or increasing their chances of playing professionally.
Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders often uses the transfer portal to bolster his roster, and he has a message for anyone who decides to join the fight.
