After losing four wide receivers, including star Omarion Miller, in the transfer portal, Colorado's coaching staff had their work cut out for them rebuilding weapons for quarterback Julian Lewis.

However, they did just that by dipping down into the FCS and Group of Six to pull out a talented transfer class for Lewis and new offensive coordinator Brennan Marion to work with. While it's early in spring ball, it seems one of those transfers is already turning heads in the Colorado building: Danny Scudero, the former San Jose State wideout and second-team All-American.

"Danny is going to get the ball," Colorado's wide receivers coach Jason Phillips told the media on Tuesday. " He's brought that work ethic here. He's been an example guy."


Colorado WRs coach Jason Phillips: “Danny (Scudero) is going to still get the ball (a lot) … he’s brought that work ethic here. He’s been an example guy.”

Following Scudero's journey, it's easy to see why he'd be able to set the example for the Buffs' pass catchers. The undersized wideout began his career at Sacramento State in 2023, where he totaled 667 receiving yards and five touchdowns in his one season of starting action.

Scudero was able to parlay that season into a spot on the San Jose State Spartans, where he gained national recognition last year as one of the most productive wide receivers in the nation. In 12 games, Scudero managed to rack up 1,297 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, breaking multiple school records along the way.

Colorado's wide receiver room is crowded, but Scudero could command quick underneath targets to get Lewis going and serve as a safety blanket in clutch situations.
