After Colorado won just one game in 2022, Deion Sanders came to Boulder to change the culture and try to establish a winning program for a team with a storied history.
The Buffaloes jumped out to a 3–0 start to the season, but went 1–8 the rest of the way to finish 2023 with a 4–8 record.
One of Sanders’s top transfers that came with him from Jackson State to Colorado was Travis Hunter. When healthy, Hunter established himself as one of the best players in the country.
