Unlocking the Secret That Could Change Everything You Thought You Knew About [Topic]

Just when you thought the Colorado Buffaloes under Deion Sanders couldn’t get any more intriguing, they pull off yet another swagger-filled move in the transfer portal — and this one’s a doozy. Snagging a 6-foot-3 defensive back like Noah King, who’s not just any portal pickup but a prized weapon poached straight from Big 12 rival Kansas State, raises some eyebrows. How often do you see a team casually swipe top-tier talent from a conference foe with four full years of eligibility left? Not often, and that’s exactly the kind of bold, almost audacious chess move Coach Prime seems to thrive on. With King’s versatility switching from safety to likely cornerback, and a slew of other power-conference suitors hot on his trail, Colorado’s blueprint for a powerhouse roster is clearer than ever. It makes you wonder — is the portal era finally turning traditional college football loyalties on their head, or are the Buffaloes just that magnetic? Either way, the summit of transfer success is one that Sanders and his staff are climbing fast. LEARN MORE.

Colorado football made sure it nabbed a massive addition before the college football transfer portal closes. This new 6-foot-3 talent for Deion Sanders even hails from a Big 12 rival.

“Coach Prime” and the Buffaloes landed towering defensive back Noah King, who leaves conference foe Kansas State. King has four years of playing eligibility left, per Hayes Fawcett of On3 Wednesday.

Fawcett called King “one of the top available DBs in the portal.” King arrives to Boulder playing one season in Manhattan, Kansas.

The native of Cincinnati arrived to KSU as a safety. He’s likely to handle cornerback duties for the Buffaloes. King was highly coveted in the portal. Miami, Houston and Purdue were three power conference representatives that offered a roster spot to King.

Colorado, Deion Sanders active again in portal 

Colorado under Sanders have established a foot hold on the portal era. The Buffs built their roster off players who started their CFB careers elsewhere. That includes the recently drafted Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders — both arriving via Jackson State.

The 2025 Buffaloes are hitting the portal hard. Sanders and company have added two additions at the last minute before the window closes.

Colorado and Sanders plucked away a former five-star talent Tuesday. Ex-Florida State wide receiver Hykeem Williams joined CU. Williams caught only 21 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns through two seasons in Tallahassee. He leaves Sanders’ college alma mater from his playing years.

The Williams addition arrives during a period of transition at WR. Hunter not only landed to the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 2. Colorado watched Jimmy Horn join the Carolina Panthers in the sixth round. Williams gets a chance to become WR1 in Boulder.

Sanders and CU have lured in an astonishing 26 transfers through the ’25 class. King won’t be the only P4 defensive back. The Buffaloes also nabbed Terrance Love from Auburn and Makari Vickers of Oklahoma — both former SEC talent.
