Gage Goldbеrg’s journey from Alabama to Colorado

Gage Goldberg, a talented high school football player, had previously committed to play for the University of Alabama. However, following Nick Saban’s retirement announcement, he decided to flip his commitment to the University of Colorado and join Coach Prime’s team. Despite not being on scholarship, Goldberg saw an opportunity to contribute to the Buffaloes and showcase his skills on the field.

Notably, the Goldberg family has a connection to Sanders, as Bill Goldberg played college football alongside Coach Prime for the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL. Gage Goldberg’s decision to join Colorado’s 2024 recruiting class further strengthens the ties between the families. As a first-team all-district 12 5A player in Texas, Goldberg brings talent and potential to the Buffaloes’ roster. His addition to the team reflects Coach Sanders’ commitment to recruiting top-notch athletes and building a competitive program at Colorado.
