Colorado Buffaloes Lose Savion Washington & Myles Slusher to Transfer Portal

The Colorado Buffaloes football team is facing some significant changes as two key players have announced their decision to enter the transfer portal, adding to the team’s offseason challenges.

First up is Savion Washington, a highly-rated offensive lineman who has been a standout at left tackle for St. Vincent-St. Mary. Washington, who was rated as a four-star prospect and one of the top 10 offensive linemen in the transfer portal by on3, received high praise from Colorado football coach Deion Sanders. However, the Buffaloes will now have to adjust to the absence of their starting right tackle.

Joining Washington in the transfer portal is Myles Slusher, a solid safety who has made significant contributions to the Buffaloes’ defense. Slusher, who transferred from Arkansas, has accumulated over 1,200 snaps in the SEC and Pac-12 conferences, showcasing his experience and versatility on the field. Known for his clutch performances and instincts in coverage, Slusher’s departure leaves a void in Colorado’s secondary.

During his time with the Buffaloes last season, Slusher recorded impressive statistics, including 17 tackles, 16 solo tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1.5 sacks, and a pass breakup. His contributions to the team’s defense will be missed as Colorado navigates the challenges of the upcoming season.

The loss of both Washington and Slusher adds to the roster adjustments that the Buffaloes will need to make in the offseason. As the team looks to fill these gaps and prepare for the upcoming season, they will need to rely on their depth and talent to maintain their competitiveness in the Pac-12 conference.
