Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes Transfers Ranked: Top Offensive Weapons

5. Offensive Tackle Larry Johnson III

A 6-foot-7, 348-pound transfer from Tennessee, Larry Johnson III didn't play a ton during his two seasons with the Volunteers, but is a name to watch for Colorado's starting right tackle job. Johnson, who began his career at the junior college level, performed particularly well at left tackle against Oklahoma and Kent State last season, which included him being Tennessee's highest-graded lineman against the Sooners, according to Pro Football Focus.

4. Offensive Lineman Zy Crisler

Zy Crisler, another former JUCO star, joined the Buffs in January after three impressive seasons at Illinois. The 6-foot-7, 350-pound graduate student started in 28 games and was a two-time All-Big Ten honorable mention nod. His vast experience and success at the Power Four level makes him a top candidate to start on the interior offensive line.

3. Wide Receiver Hykeem Williams

The talent is certainly there for Hykeem Williams, but the former five-star prospect has yet to fully prove himself at the college level. In two seasons at Florida State, Williams recorded only 21 catches for 267 yards and two touchdowns, showing only flashes of his true capabilities.

If the Buffs can fully unlock Williams, he could be a problem in the Big 12 Conference next season.

2. Wide Receiver Sincere Brown

After a quiet first four years at the college level, including three at South Florida, Sincere Brown made a name for himself at Campbell this past season. Utilizing his length and elite speed, Brown broke out for 61 catches for 1,028 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2024 before entering the transfer portal.

Playing time won't be easily earned in Colorado's crowded wide receiver room, but Brown (and Williams) have all the talent to make an immediate impact next season.

1. Quarterback Kaidon Salter

Veteran Kaidon Salter enjoyed a stellar career at Liberty and is now favored to beat out incoming freshman Julian "JuJu" Lewis for Colorado's starting quarterback job. During his time at Liberty, the dual-threat Salter compiled 5,887 passing yards, 2,063 rushing yards and 77 total touchdowns while leading the Flames to a 13-1 season in 2023. Salter knows how to win at the college level and appears ready to make some noise in the Power Four.
