The Buffs now have a spot in the secondary to fill

So far this offseason, Colorado’s defense has been relatively unharmed by the transfer portal. Other than the departures of Cormani McClain and Myles Slusher, most of CU’s top-end talent from last season has decided to stick around for 2024. That’s unfortunately not the case anymore, as starting cornerback Omarion Cooper announced his departure via the transfer portal earlier this week.

After coming to Boulder from Florida State in 2023, Cooper played in nine games for the Buffs, starting in eight of which. While on the field, Cooper was a productive player for the Buffs, finishing the season with 37 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble. Cooper missed Colorado’s final three games of the season due to injury and was looking to make his return to the field in black and gold in 2024.

Unfortunately, that return won’t come, as Cooper has entered the transfer portal with three more years of eligibility remaining. Coach Prime and his staff now have a hole to fill at the starting cornerback position, but Colorado’s impressive depth at corner shouldn’t make the task particularly difficult. Oklahoma State transfer DJ McKinney is a prime candidate to fill in with Cooper’s departure.

Wherever he ends up, we wish Omarion the best of luck going forward.
