Colorado Football Transfer’s Sudden Tennessee Shift Sparks Questions—What’s Really Behind the Move?
Just days after Colorado football nabbed Tennessee transfer John Slaughter at safety, it seems the Volunteers aren’t done dipping into the Buffaloes’ secondary pantry. Cornerback Colton Hood—fresh off a solid 2024 campaign with two interceptions for 105 yards, 20 solo tackles, and six pass breakups—is packing his bags for Knoxville.

In a whirlwind offseason charged with change, one thing’s for sure—both teams are betting on defense to carry them forward, but just how far can this defensive swap meet take them?
