Cordale Russell needed a fresh start after his freshman season with the TCU Horned Frogs and thankfully, Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders was willing to give him just that in Boulder.
Russell committed to TCU after playing his high school ball in Texas, but the 6-foot-4 receiver, nicknamed “Baby T.O.,” did not register any stats in three games played for the Horned Frogs last season. He entered the transfer portal in December and landed at CU soon after.
In a recent interview with Darius Sanders of Reach The People Media YouTube, Russell talked about his difficult journey that ultimately led him to the Buffs. He expressed an immense amount of gratitude toward Coach Prime for giving him a “second chance” in his college football career.
“The way things was going, it was a lot of disclosed stuff that was going on that I ain’t proud of, but I grew from it,” Russell told Darius Sanders. “I’m glad I’m here (at Colorado) now. I was given a second chance. It was really a lot of chances, but a real chance. I appreciate Coach Prime for that because he understands me, understands where I come from. He told me he was going to help me be better. Since I got here, I feel I’ve done changed a lot in different aspects. I done grew as a person for sure.”
