Shedeur Sanders is not happy Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver Montana Lemonious-Craig has decided to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Lemonious-Craig officially entered his name into the portal on Monday after posting a farewell to the Buffaloes on social media. In response, Sanders went live on Instagram, asking for all his viewers, which was over a thousand at the time, to span Lemonious-Craig’s post with comments panning his decision.

Check it out below, as the video was shared to Twitter by @CollegeFBPortal. Sanders was not happy with his former wide receiver.

“It’s a crooked world nowadays man, it’s a crooked world,” said Sanders. “You’re lucky he got his comments off, because I would tell you to go spam his comments. The dude I just posted on my story, y’all go spam his comments from the last post before the one he just did and y’all say, ‘Why you leave, why you leave, why you leave, why you leave, why you leave, why you leave,’ y’all do that for me right quick.

“Y’all look at the person I just posted on my story, and go to a picture that you can comment on, and flood it right now.”

Moreover, Lemonious-Craig has spent the last three seasons with the Buffaloes, recording 34 catches for 497 yards and five touchdown grabs, but now he’ll never play under Deion Sanders. He had a career game last season in Colorado’s lone win of the season over California, hauling in eight catches for 119 yards and a touchdown and being named offensive player of the game against by the coaching staff.

Evidently, Montana Lemonious-Craig believes his talent will be better utilized elsewhere, but Shedeur Sanders doesn’t necessarily agree.

Continuing, it’s evident Colorado meant a lot to Montana Lemonius-Craig, as he took the time to make a heartfelt statement regarding his decision.

“Colorado Family, I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits.

“During the course of my time at the University of Colorado, I have been fortunate to cross paths with many remarkable individuals who have played a significant role in my journey. From the dedicated fans who have cheered the team on throughout victory and loss, to my fellow teammates who have become like family, to the hardworking support staff who have ensured my success both on and off the field, and to the coaches who have tirelessly mentored and guided me, I am truly grateful for each and every person who has contributed to my college experience. I am particularly thankful for the sincere people I have had the pleasure of meeting during my time at the University of Colorado. The warmth and kindness that I have experienced from the faculty, staff, and fellow students has made my time here truly special.

The sense of community and camaraderie that permeates this campus has been a source of inspiration and motivation for me, and I am appreciative to have been a part of such a supportive environment. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my family for their unwavering support along my journey.
