Veteran Players Rewriting College Football | Colorado Buffaloes Football News

Colorado's Old Roster, Big 2026 Hopes | Colorado Buffaloes Football News

Colorado’s 2026 football squad is banking on experience, not youth — with an average player age of 20.63, making them one of the oldest teams in the Big 12. Loaded with 43 transfers and just 21 high school recruits, the Buffs are chasing a breakout season, but the data says age alone doesn’t win championships. Even top contenders like Texas Tech aren’t the oldest, and middle-aged rosters are often the ones favored to dominate. Will Colorado’s veteran squad defy the odds — or will age catch up to them? The field will tell. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Veteran Players Rewriting College Football | Colorado Buffaloes Football News

College football’s getting stranger—and older—with veteran players stretching their eligibility into their late 20s, thanks to COVID waivers and the transfer portal. Alton McCaskill, once a Houston phenom with 1,000 yards and 16 TDs as a freshman, now plays for Sam Houston after bouncing around Colorado and Arizona State, chasing that early magic. Teams like Colorado, led by Coach Prime, are rebuilding with younger transfers, but the trend of super-seniors dominating the field is reshaping the game, turning college football into a longer, more strategic grind—almost like pro ball.

Colorado’s New Offensive Line Anchor | Colorado Buffaloes Football News

Colorado’s future offensive line just got a massive upgrade with the commitment of Dewey Young, the top interior offensive lineman in the Big 12 and No. 21 overall at his position for the 2027 class. Standing 6’4” and packing 325 pounds, Young is the perfect physical anchor for Coach Prime’s new “Go-Go” offense, designed to dominate with a powerful run game. His arrival signals a strategic shift toward building from the ground up, alongside fellow recruit LiMarcus Jones, under new OC Brennan Marion. Young’s blend of power and bend, paired with mentorship from NFL All-Pro Andre Gurode, positions him to be a cornerstone of Colorado’s front five—and a key piece in their plan to control games on Saturdays.

Julian Lewis to Lead Buffaloes in 2026 | Colorado Buffaloes Football News

Julian Lewis, the electric four-star QB, is poised to lead the Colorado Buffaloes into the 2026 season—though not yet officially named starter, it’s a near-lock. After flashing big-play potential last year despite shaky coaching and a brutal 3-0 record when throwing over 10 passes, Lewis carries immense pressure to elevate this team. With new OC Brennan Marion, a loaded transfer portal class, and a stacked receiving corps, the offense’s ceiling hinges on his growth. Backup Isaac Wilson and freshman Kaneal Sweetwyne are in the mix, but Lewis is the clear focal point. Oddsmakers don’t believe in a big turnaround—projecting just 4.5 wins—but if Lewis steps up, this could be the year the Buffs break through. Coach Prime’s biggest fear? Repeating last year’s QB chaos. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
