Colorado Buffaloes Prepare for Shedeur Sanders’ Departure by Signing Four-Star Transfer
BOULDER, CO – The Colorado Buffaloes are proactively planning for the future as star quarterback Shedeur Sanders nears his potential departure to the NFL. Head Coach Deion Sanders has announced the signing of four-star quarterback transfer, Dante Taylor, to strengthen the team’s roster for the upcoming season.
Taylor, a standout at the University of Arizona, has been a highly coveted prospect, praised for his strong arm, impressive mobility, and leadership on the field. His decision to join the Buffaloes marks a significant step in Coach Sanders’ efforts to continue the program’s upward trajectory following a transformative 2023 season.
“We’re excited to welcome Dante to the Colorado family. He’s a talented quarterback with all the tools to excel in our system,” said Coach Sanders. “We’ve been building something special here, and with Dante’s skills and drive, we’re confident he’ll contribute to our success moving forward.”
Taylor’s signing is a key move as the Buffaloes aim to maintain their competitiveness in the Pac-12 and beyond, especially with Shedeur Sanders expected to declare for the NFL Draft after an outstanding college career. Sanders, who has electrified fans with his playmaking ability, is anticipated to leave a lasting legacy at Colorado, and the program is already planning for his successor.
The addition of Taylor underscores the Buffaloes’ commitment to sustaining high-level play at the quarterback position. With an experienced coaching staff and a growing talent pool, Colorado is poised to stay relevant in the national conversation, regardless of the upcoming changes in the quarterback room.
Fans can look forward to an exciting spring camp as both Taylor and other quarterbacks compete for the starting role. The program continues to focus on building a championship-caliber team, with an eye on the 2024 season and beyond.
