Colorado wideout Cordale Russell plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett. He will have multiple years of eligibility remaining.

Russell was a Class of 2023 signee with TCU before transferring to Colorado. He was considered one of the top receivers in the class.

Russell was a Top 100 recruit in the 2023 signing class in the On3 Industry Ranking, clocking in as the No. 81 overall prospect. He was rated four stars coming out of North Mesquite (Texas) High School.

Colorado is also set to lose one of the top playmakers in CFB to the NFL

Travis Hunter has one game left playing for Colorado, presuming he plays in the Buffaloes bowl game, something head coach Deion Sanders said will happen. But no matter what, Hunter’s time in Boulder is winding down, as he gears up for the 2025 NFL Draft.

And that means Hunter won’t be coached by Sanders for the first time in three years, ending what has been a fruitful coach player relationship. It’s a relationship that will surely leave a lasting impact on Hunter, who has developed into a two-way star and Heisman candidate in large part because of what Sanders instilled him in.

One thing, though, supersedes the rest, Hunter said.

“Belief. You’ve gotta believe in yourself. That’s the main thing he instilled in me. You just gotta believe. You gotta have that dog mentality and always be ready,” Hunter said during a brief interview on SportsCenter on Thursday evening.

Both player and coach are quite similar and have admitted as such, giving Sanders a clear window into what life might be like as a two-way star and being a center of attention.

And it goes behind the football comparisons.

Hunter shared on Thursday that he and Sanders both love to fish. Though there will probably be debate between the two about one aspect.

“We like to fish a lot. We’re both great fishermen. We’ll he not great. I’m great, he good. But we like to fish a lot. That’s all we talk about, really,” Hunter said.
