Deion Sanders and Cormani McClain failed to produce. Cormani McClain, former No.1 cornerback in the 2023 recruiting class, shocks fans by entering the transfer portal. McClain’s move from Colorado, where he initially joined with high hopes, raises questions about his future in collegiate football. Despite his talent, McClain struggled to secure a starting position, leading to speculations about his standing within the team.
Colorado tailback Alton McCaskill is NOW LEAVING AND entering the NCAA transfer portal!! What is going on. Deion Sanders, Colorado’s head coach, sheds light on McClain’s challenges, emphasizing the importance of preparation, commitment, and dedication to the game.
McClain’s limited appearances in the 2023 season, coupled with recent efforts to regain form, hint at a potential departure from Colorado for the upcoming 2024 season. “He’s got to prepare,” Deion Sanders said in September of last season. “Study, prepare, be on time for meetings, show up to the darn meetings, understand what we’re doing as a scheme, want to play this game, desire to play this game, desire to be the best in this game, at practice, in the film room, and in your own free time.”
DB’s coach Kevin Mathis acknowledges McClain WAS OUT OF SHAPE and not ready to run like that. “Cormani came back the other day. He was out there running today. He got to get back in shape. Once he does that, once he finishes his running, he’ll be back in football,” Mathis said at the time. Cormani McClain, once touted as the nation’s top cornerback, has made the decision to enter the transfer portal, shaking up the football landscape.
McClain’s journey from high expectations to uncertain standing with the Buffaloes has been a rollercoaster. Initially hailed as a key addition alongside star Travis Hunter, McClain’s path took an unexpected turn as he struggled to secure a spot in the starting lineup. Deion Sanders, Colorado’s coach, shed light on McClain’s challenges, emphasizing the need for preparation, dedication, and commitment to excellence both on and off the field.
Despite flashes of potential, McClain’s freshman season fell short of expectations, with limited starts and game appearances. With four years of eligibility remaining, McClain’s decision to enter the transfer portal signals a significant shift in his collegiate journey. Miami? UCF? Florida State? Stay tuned for updates as the spring transfer window remains open until April 30th. McClain’s departure marks a substantial loss for Deion Sanders and adds to the intrigue of the upcoming college football season.
Colorado will lose one of the highly-touted transfers from last year. Alton McCaskill IV, who took a redshirt year with the Buffs, will be hitting the transfer portal for a second time in his career, as first reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel. He played four games with 14 carries for 59 yards at CU.
The yellow non-contact jersey was removed from the Buffs running back mid-way through the season, but he ended up on the shelf with a lingering injury. McCaskill transferred from the University of Houston and tore his ACL with the Cougars in April of 2022. He was sidelined throughout CU’s off-season conditioning last year and appeared to be back in full strength this year. Overall, Coach Prime and the Buffs are currently negative four when it comes to the portal. That total can fluctuate with the window being open for the next twelve days.
