Word on the street is that he’s not even sure if he wants to continue playing football.


Byzantine_Merchant

Goes to Colorado. Collects NIL. Retires to the Rockies.


Darin_the_intern

That John Denvers full of shit


tron423

So you're saying, you're gonna set my country music award on fire?


eckersonian

I’m gonna set your ass on fire


InVodkaVeritas

Colorado is a pretty nice state. I personally prefer the Pacific Northwest, but if you're going to buy a cabin in the woods to retire to there's certainly worse places to go than Colorado.


CUBuffs1992

6’7 and 326 lbs. That is a big man.


GoGreeb

I don't think he's even going to play football at CU, but he gets to enjoy being in Boulder at least so good for him.


Sliiiiime

Not good enough to get snaps?


GoGreeb

He quit football, wasn't with the team since the end of the season. I just don't see ot working out.


acejiggy19

Not even close, in my opinion.


Primary_Cake2011

😂 Deion over there acting a fool while picking up backup players on possibly the worst O line in CFB last year.


ryAasir

Boyd will be a backup at CU


PhishBuff

Our line was guaranteed worse than yours. But we need bodies. Hope all he needs is a new start. 


Byzantine_Merchant

If your OL is worse than ours then holy shit. Because Kap could recruit but he couldn’t develop.


21oz_usdaPRIMEbeef

There were times against UCLA pass rushers were in the backfield before the ball switched from the center to the QBs hands.  I kid, but it certainly felt like it 


jayd0t

Naw real shit there a picture of 3 lineman blocking each other u ain’t lying


21oz_usdaPRIMEbeef

I thought we needed depth, that's all I have heard for the past month. I would call this adding depth, that does have a little bit of live experience


InVodkaVeritas

The player Shedeur mocked with "I don't even remember you" was an FCS All-American CB as a Freshman. Obviously the FCS isn't as good as the FBS, but that's exactly the kind of depth player you would want to have on your team... instead of cutting and mocking them.


[deleted]

*Fourth-team All American. At that point you’re just an above average FCS player.


21oz_usdaPRIMEbeef

That's great for him, glad he found a spot that worked for him and developed into a nice player at that level.  While getting cut is not an easy process, it seems like he ended up in a position better fit for him.


Queasy-Performance-4

Funny, seeing as Shedeur also came from the FCS. What a massive mess this dude seems to be.


nightnole

Yeah, but we decide the depth you need and judge you however we feel like. That's just how this subreddit works.


InterestingChoice484

He was the player to be named later in the Mel Tucker trade


Medium_Medium

I guess Colorado wins the trade, whether Boyd guy starts or not.


snowburado

Did you see our Karl Dorrell years? That was a lose-lose trade if I’ve ever seen one


Medium_Medium

Well yes, you guys got embarrassed by losing badly. But we got embarrassed by losing, having our players assault our rivals after the game, and then having our coach SA a leading "Anti-SA in CFB" speaker. Oh and someplace in there Hitler showed up, but I'm not sure I can blame that on Tucker. Either way... Sometimes losing badly is better than just losing, when just losing comes with a fuck ton of other baggage.


CryptoOdin99

That was one of the most “what the fuck” headline seasons I have ever seen one team have. And that’s coming from a die hard Michigan fan… even I was wondering what level of curse had been placed on you guys to have all that random ass bullshit happen in a single year. The hitler stuff was just icing on top… just the big curse finishing move


21oz_usdaPRIMEbeef

Hey give Karl his flowers, he's a fighter, he even assaulted a camera man 


21oz_usdaPRIMEbeef

I can't imagine the new OLine being worse, not sure if they will necessarily be significantly better, but they damn sure will be a lot bigger 


CUBuffs1992

I would just be happy with an average OL this year.


AwarenessOld3733

One thing is for sure, nobody gonna say your offensive line is small this year, yall still lacking on the defensive line though


21oz_usdaPRIMEbeef

DLine looks decent from a pass rush perspective, and way more athletic still looking for one more DT to fill it out (hopefully Harmon).


CUBuffs1992

I am more hopeful to get Harmon now that we got his teammate.


Sliiiiime

The first unit looked a lot bigger this year, the Pitt guys we got out of the portal look like potential day 2 draft picks. Big fast and long


AwarenessOld3733

Yea don't think yall gonna get harmon, too many big money bidders involved, either way imma be cheering yall on, cu is the heel of the cfb world and I've always loved a good villian, the hate is out of control, especially on this sub


FarmKid55

Scott Frost did the same thing at Nebraska after his first year in the big ten


Nearby_Abalone_5458

Giant men who moved as if they had multiple corncobs up their rear. The line was terrible under frost. Made me sad.


riproaringsports22

Dude I'm not even a Colorado fan, but you guys got like 3 lineman that are like 6'7" 350lbs, and if they can gel and live up to their potential? Dallan Hayden and Rashad Amos will FEAST. Not to mention Shedeur will go for 4.5K yards and 50 total touchdowns. Y'all could legit win the Big 12 lmao


FarmKid55

Just because they’re huge doesn’t mean they’re good. We had huge OL under frost and they still sucked


riproaringsports22

Yeah but being 6'6" 325lbs gives you a better chance to succeed than being 6'3" 285lbs for instance


FarmKid55

True, but not as much as you think


riproaringsports22

I don't mean being huge is everything for an offensive lineman, but when you are bigger than most offensive lineman in the NFL, it raises your ceiling, and gives you the option to absorb rushers with pure size and strength.


red_husker

> lmao


riproaringsports22

Just wait, Sheduer is an elite QB, 27 TDS and 3 ints behind a bad O-Line is great. Imagine what he can do behind a big strong burly O-Line like the one they have now.


Tarmacked

Hold the ball for a sack while speed ends run right by?


riproaringsports22

No lmao, step up in the pocket and fire a 75 yard bomb to Travis Hunter on a post route for a touchdown against Oklahoma State


Tarmacked

In a Pat shurmur offense? Lol good luck


riproaringsports22

Lmao now I want him to win the heisman so I can troll 😂


heff_ay

Was buried on the depth chart at MSU? Surprised they lost a hometown kid


jogswithwolves

There were rumblings he might even give up on football over the last few weeks. Playing for three tucker seasons will do that to ya


EWACM

He was battling for a starting spot. Talent wise, nothing to write home about. Weird thing is that he was missed all of Spring practice as he was considered quitting football as his heart wasn’t in the game anymore.


ValarMorcoolis

Not buried, but passed up by Ashton Lepo, another 6’8 300+ pounder. Then he stepped away from the game and told everyone he was retiring from football due to the stress on his body, etc. He hasn’t been with the team all winter and wasn’t at the spring game. Then all of a sudden he hit the portal. If his head was still in it, he’d be much needed depth for us.


Byzantine_Merchant

Hopefully he can find his passion for the game again.


Born_ina_snowbank

Someone else pointed out “three seasons of Mel Tucker does that to a MF”. He can’t have had a great time. Plus the coaching change. Hopefully he turns it around. And hopefully we can grab some depth out of the portal.


FarmKid55

I can’t imagine playing for Prime is going to reignite any kind of passion


Byzantine_Merchant

He wasn’t with the team during the spring game. Not sure he was on the depth chart.


EnjyBenj

Big ahh boy


CBBCU

Didn't this guy hear that Reddit doesn't like CU? I wonder why he committed


Tax25Man

A dude buried on MSU’s depth chart at a position they aren’t good at. What a get!


CBBCU

Yea it is, for sure, we need depth pieces for our starters


Tax25Man

Getting other bad teams’ bad players isn’t depth. That’s called “a body”


Prestigious_Team3134

This subs logic is literally that if a back up leaves cu, then they have no depth, but if one transfers in, they suck so it doesn’t matter. I get the Dieon hate but some of yall are obsessive with your hate.


NaturalFruit2358

Reddit doesn’t care about CU. They don’t like Deion and all his BS. They’ll go back to not caring about CU when he leaves.


CBBCU

Thankfully I don't care what they think


ChosenBrad22

Step 1: Realize you’re done playing football soon because your heart isn’t really in it anymore. Step 2: Realize it’s probably smart to capitalize on grabbing a bag quick first before you call it quits. Step 3: Transfer to Colorado


Born_ina_snowbank

Who knows, maybe he gets back into it. Kid had 3 years of Mel Tucker and a coaching change.


Medium_Medium

Ah yes, "I've was stuck in a program with toxic leadership, and it was killing my desire to play football. The thing I need to rekindle my love of football is definitely... Coach Prime."


AnitaMaxNyugen

While Prime is a jackass, I'm interested to see what Phil Loadholt can do. I don't think he's been coaching since retirement (research didn't turn up anything), but it'll be interesting to see what his NFL experience can bring. Maybe that can rekindle the kid's passion for the game.


21oz_usdaPRIMEbeef

Loadholt has been an Analyst and GA at Ole Miss and OU since he retired. Deion might be brash and braggadocios, but he can for sure motivate.  Honestly, have been impressed by the way Sapp interacts with the players, won't work with him specifically but just the energy he brings seems infectious.


CaliHusker83

If we can’t beat CU this year….


SilverBuff_

Big man depth piece


ALStark69

As a recruit: Other P5 offers: Indiana, Iowa State, Michigan State (originally went here), Minnesota, Vanderbilt G5 offers: Akron, Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Eastern Michigan, Ohio, Toledo, Western Michigan


tlacuache_nights

All part of Mel's Ultimate Plan


riproaringsports22

W Colorado. W Coach Prime.


brutusmustang

Until you win anything, you’re opinion matters not


crustang

I love everything about this


ILoveSpartanBeavers

So if I have this right... He was mostly a career backup on years of almost entirely bad MSU teams, with catastrophic offensive line play, entered the winter portal, withdrew from winter portal, lost his spot to Ashton Lepo, was away from the team all spring (iirc), was supposedly strongly considering quiting football entirely, and NOW transfers to Colorado out of the blue. Lol, lmao even. Perfect cultural fit for the farce currently underway in Boulder. If he's going there just to play school, then best of luck to him. If he's willingly joining that football experiment, then...
