Colorado Buffs just pulled off some NFL Draft madness, but it wasn’t all sunshine and champagne showers in Boulder. While the cameras stayed glued to Shedeur Sanders’ freefall, some low-key W’s started sneaking out the back door. And one Buff, LaJohntay Wester, wasn’t about to let his shine get dimmed—he flexed hard on IG. But as big bro was catching flights to Baltimore, lil bro Jaylen Wester was out here catching Cormani McClain’s attention—and that move right there might be the real tea brewing under the table.

The NFL Draft started all cute, real Disney Channel vibes—then it turned into Straight Outta Boulder. Forget Shedeur’s slide for a second. Saturday hit different when Colorado flexed some real muscle at the wide receiver spot. Brian Howell from the Boulder Daily Camera made it plain: Colorado had more wideouts drafted than any school in America. Yup, not Georgia, not Bama, not even WRU Ohio State. Colorado.

Travis Hunter kicked the door down first, going No. 2 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The boys in Duval didn’t even blink—they straight teleported up to grab Travis by trading with the Browns. And peep this: Jacksonville said Hunter can keep doing his Prime Time cosplay, playing both sides in the league. Coach Liam Coen and GM James Gladstone basically called, ‘Himothy.’

But the sneaky move? That was LaJohntay Wester hearing his name called by the Baltimore Ravens at pick 203. That’s quite a sixth-round steal. Bro’s quickness is crazy; his routes are tight. And if Baltimore plays it smart, Wester is going to be catching bombs from Lamar Jackson by Thanksgiving.

Wester didn’t waste any time either—the man jumped on his IG story faster than a Chick-fil-A drive-thru, reposting a stat about Colorado having the most wideouts drafted and tagging Shedeur Sanders’ track “Perfect Timing.” You have to love the petty flex. Even though he wrote “Ok Cool S.O.B,” the underlying vibe—the one that really hit you—was ‘We up regardless.’ Jimmy Horn Jr. came right behind him too, picked by the Carolina Panthers at No. 208. Jimmy’s route? Catch bombs from Bryce Young and probably house some kick returns if he isn’t too busy shaking DBs out of their socks.

LaJohntay’s college tape? Straight gas: 74 catches, 931 yards, 10 tuds—and one of them was that 43-yard heartbreaker that forced OT against Baylor. Dude was him when it mattered. Jimmy Horn? Not too shabby either, clocking 441 yards on 37 catches, but let’s be honest—the moment was all Wester’s. And also, Will Sheppard got picked by the Bucs in the undrafted free agency.

Cormani McClain caught sniffing Jaylen Wester’s transfer portal move

While the Wester family was out here passing around cigars, lil bro Jaylen was making his own headlines. On the very same Saturday, Jaylen Wester hopped into the transfer portal like he was double-dutching out of Boulder. Jaylen, who did his dirt at Florida Atlantic before pulling up to Colorado, had spent spring camp fighting for an inside linebacker spot. Word is, he balled in special teams last year—clocked 11 games, 15 tackles, a pass breakup, and even caused a fumble. Respect. But after Spring ball? Bro clearly felt the vibe was off. So boom—transfer portal.

Now here’s where it gets spicy: as soon as the Buffs fan page ‘Buffs.Culture’ dropped the news on IG, guess who slid in and liked the post? Cormani McClain.

You already know Cormani got a whole novella’s worth of beef with Coach Prime and Colorado. Let’s rewind: McClain was a five-star gift from the football gods, flipped from Miami to Boulder because he wanted to get that Deion Sanders sauce. But man, once he touched down, the fairy tale ended quick. Prime clowned him in public, saying he didn’t study, didn’t know the playbook, and didn’t come prepared.

Cormani finally said, “I just don’t wanna play for clicks,” when he dipped out, basically telling the world that Colorado was more Instagram filter than NFL factory. Then he packed up his cleats and took his talents to Florida, trying to reboot with the Gators. And if we keep it a buck, Cormani’s 2024 season with UF was mid at best. Like, 7-Eleven sandwich mid. So when Jaylen Wester decided he was out? You already KNOW Cormani peeped it. His lil like on IG wasn’t just a ‘good luck, bro’—nah, it was a whole mood. It was basically him whispering, “You see what I saw too, huh?” from across the internet.

It’s low-key poetic, too. As big bro LaJohntay Wester starts living that NFL dream, catching no-look dots from Lamar Jackson, lil bro Jaylen might be low-key cooking his own comeback story. Who knows, maybe in Gainesville. Maybe somewhere else. Either way, he’s moving smart—and moving fast.
