ALERT: Colorado DB Transfer Naeten Mitchell Joins The Show! Talks Playing for Deion Sanders

The Colorado Buffaloes welcome one of the portal’s most overlooked stars, Nate Mitchell, who arrives with a chip on his shoulder and a reputation for game-changing versatility. Can Mitchell’s experience at safety, nickel, and corner spark immediate transformation for Coach Prime’s defense? Kevin Borba dives deep with Nate Mitchell, unpacking his journey from zero-star Temple, Texas recruit to all-conference standout at New Mexico State. The discussion highlights Mitchell's persistence through overlooked recruiting cycles, lessons learned at multiple defensive positions, and the hunger driving highly-motivated Group of Five transfers. Mitchell reveals the moment when confidence became certainty—and shares how family, including a prophetic letter from his grandmother, helped guide his decision to join Colorado. The Buffs’ staff, including seasoned NFL minds, see Mitchell as a high-upside playmaker, while Coach Prime’s personal film breakdown draws comparisons to renowned hitters like Shiloh Sanders. Can Mitchell step into a leadership role and help reset Colorado’s locker room culture? The episode also spotlights how other New Mexico State transfers—Tyler Martinez and Ezra Christensen—will add both toughness and cohesion. Kevin Borba and Nate Mitchell discuss expectations for next season, the impact of incoming talent, and how a wave of hungry, overlooked athletes could mediate the Buffs’ leadership gap. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #CollegeFootball Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
