Of the 17 Buffaloes to enter the transfer portal this offseason, eight of them have found new homes as of Jan. 24. Not all of these ex-Buffs have exactly upgraded to a bigger program, but the hope for increased playing time is valuable in its own right.
In January alone, nine Buffs have entered the portal, and a few have already committed elsewhere. Fortunately, CU has at least begun to make up for its losses by signing R.J. Sneed II and Tommy Brown. There’s still work to be done, however.
With a hat tip to the 247Sports college football transfer portal tracker, here’s where those eight former Buffs have landed.
