Former Ohio State tight end Sam Hart has found his new home. Hart has committed to Colorado, he announced on Twitter on Friday.

Hart posted his commitment with the caption “Comin home.”

Sam Hart is originally from Aurora, Colorado. He did not record a catch for the Buckeyes last season. Hart signed with the Buckeyes as a three-star recruit in the class of 2021.

He appeared in five games in 2022 and played only in the bowl game against Missouri last season.

Hart is one of several Ohio State players to enter the transfer portal this offseason, with cornerback Jyaire Brown, running back Chip Trayanum and receiver Noah Rogers being among the other players to leave the program.

With that said, Ohio State also brought in some key additions from the transfer portal this offseason, most notably Alabama transfer Caleb Downs.

As for Colorado, the Buffaloes have also been busy in the transfer portal, bringing in players from all over the country. Colorado is coming off of a 4-8 season in Year 1 under Deion Sanders.

Deion Sanders announces change of Colorado spring game format to Prime Weekend

The Colorado spring game will take place on April 27th. It sounds like it’ll be a primetime event, based on all that Deion Sanders already had to say about the plans for it.

Sanders spoke with Lil Wayne on ‘Young Money Radio’ and addressed the program’s proposal for their spring game at the end of April. He said it will end up being an event that’s several days long, one that he is calling ‘Prime Weekend’, and that will feature several things beyond just a showcase of a game.

“So, for our spring game, we’re doing a whole Prime Weekend,” said Sanders.

“We’re having a fashion show on Thursday, something for the boosters on Friday. Then the game on Saturday” said Sanders. “We’re doing an afterparty – a white, black, and a hispanic DJ. We’re going to cover everybody. Then, after the game, we’re doing something with the alumni.”

If that’s not enough, Sanders also hinted at a special guest that would make an appearance either at halftime or in some way during the course of the game.

“Also, maybe, at the halftime of the game or right at the end of the game on the rooftop? We’re going to have somebody. It’s going down,” Sanders added. “We may cut that into the game so that could be seen with millions of viewers.”
