Deion Sanders snagged another offensive playmaker via the transfer portal on Sunday.

Cincinnati tight end Chamon Metayer made it official and will be coming to Boulder. The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder was a dominant force for the Bearcats this year with 23 catches for 258 yards and five touchdowns. This included a two-score performance in the second to last game of the season vs. West Virginia.

Metayer brings size and strength as an extension of CU's offensive line. He'll be able to pick up blocks and be a key in the Buffs rushing attack. But he'll also replace the production of Michael Harrison, who exits via the transfer portal. The Cincinnati standout is likely to be the most underrated commit for CU in 2024. Metayer was tasked with taking over for NFL tight ends Josh Whyle and Leonard Taylor.

Colorado receives a raw talent with tremendous upside in Metayer. The North Miami (Florida) product was a three-star recruit in the 2021 class. He originally committed to the 'U' out of high school and switched to Cincinnati before Signing Day.

Metayer becomes the sixth transfer portal recruit for Deion Sanders and the Buffs. There was a major emphasis on improving CU's offensive line this weekend, which happened in a major way with five new offensive lineman on the way to CU.

Metayer comes to Boulder with three years of eligibility remaining.
