Today insider Mat Smith took to X to share Deion Sanders’ urgency to secure the kicker position for the Colorado Buffs 2025 recruitment cycle, saying, “Now we’re talking. Go get the best kicker in the country to come play for an offense that scores a lot and needs one in the best place to kick in the country. 🤷‍♂️ this NEEDS to be done.” In the Buffs’ game against the Baylor Bears, the team lost their star kicker, Jace Feely, to a season-ending injury. However, freshman kicker Cristiano Palazzo took over his position in the game. Deion Sanders’ main focus is securing an elite player for his team, which is why he is making early moves.

In that game, the Buffs managed to force four turnovers and kept the Knights’ third-down conversion rate to just 33.3%. And the highlight of the game was, of course, dual-threat Travis Hunter’s “Heisman Pose.” Travis also ran for 88 yards with one touchdown and nine receptions and has also secured his position as one of the top contenders for the Heisman Trophy.

Even Fox Sports analyst and Colorado alum Joel Klatt shared his thoughts on the team’s performance against the Knights, saying, “If you are a Deion hater, Saturday was awful for you. It’s not just because Colorado won, but it’s the way in which they won.”
