Colorado WR Kendal Stewart enters the NCAA Transfer Portal

Colorado wide receiver Kendal Stewart has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned. He only spent one season at Colorado. He did not see any game action and decided to redshirt during the 2023 campaign.

Steward played high school football at Foster High School (TX), where he was an unranked prospect in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Kendal Stewart recorded 69 receptions for 1,238 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns over three seasons at Foster HS. In his senior season, he recorded 27 receptions for 373 receiving yards and two touchdowns. For his efforts, Stewart was named a second-team All District wide receiver.

Stewart is the 41st Colorado player who has entered the transfer during or since the 2023 campaign. The team has also added 33 players via the portal, earning the No. 2 spot in On3’s Transfer Portal Team Rankings.

Deion Sanders calms anxieties surrounding transfer portal

While many fans have panicked about Colorado’s substantial losses in the portal, head coach Deion Sanders never worried. Earlier this month, the NFL Hall-of-Famer addressed the program’s substantial transfer departures.

“I wish you guys do a little more homework when you start talking about the portal and understand what we losing, What are we losing? I got time today,” Sanders said. “What are we losing? Potential? Where? You haven’t been watching practice have you? We good. We’re good.

“I trust the recruiting team,” Sanders said. “I trust that coaches and please have some faith in me. We aight. We alright. What happens with the portal man, and you guys need to know, a lot of people are fighting for backups. When a guy is a starter and he transfers you got to really think about that. I mean, is he really that? I don’t know how many starters have really transferred around the country.”

Of course, Sanders could see behind the scenes. On another instance, he insinuated his team wasn’t done adding players in the portal yet.

“I think we got some coming in for visits pretty soon, maybe even this weekend,” Sanders said. “But we can attract those type of players, but I don’t think we’re losing those type of players. And if we do, we’re good. We’re good. Quit making a big deal out of that. 

“God I want to say so much stuff, but I can’t. God I want to say so much stuff. I can’t. Gotta remember I’m a head coach. Let’s go.”
