Deion Sanders, Colorado Land Former JUCO All-American Linebacker in Transfer Portal originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Deion Sanders and Colorado landed a key addition to their defense Friday, as former North Alabama linebacker Shaun Myers announced his commitment to the Buffaloes.
The 6-foot-1, 220-pound graduate three-star transfer has one year of eligibility remaining. He took an official visit to Boulder two weeks ago before finalizing his decision. Myers fills a need at linebacker for Colorado, which missed out on BYU transfer Harrison Taggart earlier this month.
Though Myers only appeared in two games last season, he brings upside from his 2023 campaign, when he played in all 11 games for the Lions. That season, he totaled 58 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and two interceptions, showcasing his and coverage skills.
A team captain at North Alabama, Myers offers more than just production. His leadership could be valuable on a Colorado defense looking for experienced voices. His athleticism allows him to stay active in pass coverage and contribute on special teams.
Myers may not be a headline-making transfer, but his versatility makes him a strong depth piece for a Colorado team still rebuilding under Sanders.
The Buffaloes now hold the No. 20 ranked transfer portal class in the country and No. 2 in the Big 12, according to 247Sports.
