Despite the media’s focus on player departures, Coach Prime‘s unwavering commitment to rebuilding the Buffaloes shines through. Following the impressive “Black and Gold” spring game, Deion dedicated himself to hosting potential recruits. This focused approach quickly yielded a promising replacement for Cormani McClain, the highly-rated cornerback who departed Colorado amidst his controversial statement, “I feel like I just don’t want to play for clicks.”
While Cormani’s departure cast a shadow, it hasn’t discouraged other top recruits. A coveted cornerback from LSU is already feeling the positive energy in Boulder. His enthusiasm suggests that Deion’s efforts attract talent and restore the team’s appeal despite the recent setbacks.

Despite the distance between Las Vegas and Boulder, both places hold a special place in the heart of LSU’s transfer CB Jeremiah Hughes. His recent visit, at the invitation of Deion Sanders, left a lasting impression. “Just being in that facility was amazing. The vibes they had were genuine. I felt like I could be dropped off right there and still feel like I was at home,” Hughes told the Coloradoan.

The cornerback couldn’t contain his admiration for Coach Prime and his staff. “Just being in that room with him, I was like, ‘Wow, this is the best to ever play the position and I’m sitting face to face with him right now.” After expressing his starstruck moment, the CB went on to add, ‘I loved coach Rob (Livingston), he was amazing. Me and him had great conversations…..I really love him.” The presence of experienced individuals in the building who could contribute to his growth as a player was another aspect that appealed to him. His excitement to join the team, especially to play alongside Travis Hunter and other notable names on the defense, was palpable.

The two-way star, Travis Hunter might be getting a new partner-in-crime on the Colorado Buffaloes defense after Cormani McClain made his ugly exit. Jeremiah Hughes also recently caused a stir with photos of himself and legendary defensive back Deion Sanders, accompanied by the Buffs’ “We Coming“ slogan, sparking rumors of a potential commitment. Coach Prime added fuel to the fire with a “Yes Lawd!“ comment, hinting at the possibility.
Now, the talented cornerback has a lot of tempting offers on the table, including Utah, Arizona, Tennessee, and Washington. However, the allure of Colorado remains strong. There’s plenty for any defensive back to love about Colorado. You get coached by legends like Sanders and Livingston, who have unmatched experience in the position. Plus, the rebuilding roster offers the potential for significant playing time early on. The cornerback, who previously saw action on LSU’s special teams and even played a few defensive snaps, could quickly find himself with a starting role on the Buffaloes soon after Hunter leaves for the 2025 draft.
