Deion Sanders<\/a><\/strong> recently hosted a scrimmage for Colorado<\/a><\/strong> players that don\u2019t get their share of playing time. It will be used to put up film on players that will likely end up in the NCAA transfer portal at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Sanders wanted to make a true game day feel to the scrimmage, even bringing in some of the cheerleading squad to cheer on the sidelines. Coach Prime said that it included a full stretch and warmup before beginning the opening kickoff. <\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of you guys that don\u2019t get to play, you\u2019re going to get your chance today,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cThis is your chance because I\u2019m not crazy enough to think that all of you are going to be in this room next year. Some of you are going to jump in the portal. This is an opportunity for you to get some portal film.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the kind of coach that is going to make sure that we cut it, hype it up \u2014 give it to you however you want it to make sure that you\u2019re looking good in your portal tape. Some of you guys don\u2019t get to play that plan on jumping, you\u2019ve already made up your mind, so I\u2019m just trying to help you jump.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanders set the expectation for those who are not participating in the scrimmage that they need to stay after practice and cheer on their teammates. <\/p>\n

\u201cDo your thing,\u201d Sanders concluded. \u201cHave a great day today, you guys that\u2019s playing in the game \u2014 get your minds right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colorado welcomed in 31 players from the NCAA transfer portal after losing 27 last offseason. It was good for the No. 24 overall transfer portal class in the country this past cycle.<\/p>\n

This also helps out the younger generation of Buffs. Sanders added 14 true freshmen to his roster in his 2025 recruiting class. The ones who don\u2019t see the field also earned the opportunity to showcase their skills.<\/p>\n

For the key members of Colorado\u2019s roster who didn\u2019t play in the scrimmage, they underwent practice as normal before attending the scrimmage to cheer on their teammates. The Buffs\u2019 focus is on this Saturday\u2019s road trip to No. 23 Utah.<\/p>\n

Colorado has an opportunity to improve their record to .500 with a victory over the ranked Utes on the road. However, that\u2019s easier said than done. Kickoff is slated for 10:15 p.m. ET live on ESPN. <\/p>\n
