Buffaloes Reunion Hinges on One Legal Battle | Colorado Buffaloes Football News

Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders is eyeing a trio of former players—kickers Alejandro Mata and Buck Buchanan, and edge rusher Keaten Wade—for a potential return, thanks to a recent court ruling. But with the roster full, only one can come back—if any. The key hinges on defensive lineman Ezra Christensen’s pending NCAA legal battle; if he wins an extra year, he’ll take the last spot, leaving no room for the others. Sanders, who called it “kind” to include them, clearly values their contributions, especially Mata’s special teams stability and Buchanan’s kickoff prowess. Wade’s pass-rushing skills are also tempting, but Sanders seems prioritizing kicking depth. Ultimately, Christensen’s case could decide whether these talented ex-Buffs get a second shot this season.
