The Buffaloes that take the field for the spring game on Saturday won’t look much like the team that allowed over 60 points to Utah back in late November.
There will be some returners, including a few who’ve already earned their jersey number, but for the most part, Colorado is a new-look bunch that fans will get their first in-person look at this weekend. Head coach Deion Sanders has helped attract nearly 30 transfers, a few early enrollees who could make an instant impact and an expected spring game crowd of over 45,000 at Folsom Field.
Below are 10 players to watch during the Buffaloes’ spring football game on Saturday, which kicks off at 1 p.m. MT on ESPN:

Horn’s speed and deep ball skills fit perfectly into Sean Lewis’ offense. Plus, the South Florida transfer has developed a strong connection with Shedeur Sanders.
