I tried to tell everyone: Colorado football coaches have done a great job surrounding quarterback Sheduer Sanders with weapons during the last few recruiting cycles. Fortunately, national analysts are beginning to admit that the Buffaloes are loaded at wide receiver.
Earlier this week, On3’s Jesse Simonton ranked the 10 best wide receiver units in college football and Colorado made the cut. The Buffs placed 10th, beating honorable mentions Tennessee, USC It is Auburn. The nine units ahead of CU all came from Power Four conferences. Ohio State took first place and Oregon was right behind in second place.
We know what wide receivers like Travis Hunter, Jimmy Horn Jr. and Omarion Miller can do, but Simonton specifically highlighted two Colorado transfers and head coach Deion Sanders:
Deion Sanders also took to the portal for more playmaking help, landing transfers Will Sheppard (Vandy) and LaJohntay Wester (FAU). Wester was highly productive for the Owls last season, hauling in 108 receptions — second-most nationally. Sheppard has led the Commodores in receptions, yards and touchdowns in each of the last two years.
