Days After Cormani McClain’s Ugly Exit, Coach Prime Reported to Lose Long-Time Student in Crushing Blow to Colorado’s Offense
In the aftermath of Cormani McClain’s controversial departure, Coach Prime found himself navigating a storm of criticism surrounding the Buffaloes’ program. McClain’s accusations about “play for the clicks,” stirred up doubts about the team’s integrity, further exacerbated by a wave of departures during the Spring portal exodus.
Dylan Edwards, the standout running back who led Colorado’s rushing attack in 2023, is poised to explore new opportunities as he enters the transfer portal. Despite being ranked No. 140 in the 2023 ESPN 300 recruiting class, Edwards quickly proved himself with his exceptional versatility on the field. In a season-opening upset against TCU, he recorded 135 receiving yards and three touchdowns, both of which are school single-game records for a running back. Edwards started the first four games of the 2023 season (and six overall), finishing with 321 rushing yards and a touchdown. Additionally, he added 36 receptions for 299 yards and four touchdowns.
