LOVE IT: Texas Expert is Predicts MONSTER Years for DeAndre Moore, Leona Lafau

The Colorado Buffaloes shake up their roster by nabbing DeAndre Moore and Leona Lafau from Texas, delivering exactly what Coach Deion Sanders needs for an on-field turnaround. Can these former Longhorns become instant-impact stars and propel Colorado up the Big 12 ranks? Kevin Borba and Matt Galatzan break down Moore's relentless effort, clutch playmaking, and reputation as a locker room leader—a wide receiver with “bus route” hustle who is tailor-made for Brendan Marion’s Go-Go offense. Lafau, meanwhile, emerges as a technically sound linebacker, praised for his smarts, athleticism, and potential captain-quality leadership. Both experts compare Moore’s blocking and receiving savvy to pros like Jordan Whittington and reflect on Lafau’s ability to anchor a defense, wearing the green dot and making game-changing plays. The duo dives into why Colorado targeted character and leadership in this portal cycle—and how last year’s failed experiments with less team-focused additions led to this reset. From projections of Moore as a possible All-Big 12 candidate to Lafau’s chance to become the quarterback of Colorado’s defense, every angle is covered—including tough business decisions made by both players and the competitive recruiting environment behind their moves. Also discussed: the ripple effects of Colorado’s recruiting losses, including Xavier McDonald’s departure, the increasing competition for receiver spots, and the impact of transfers on the Buffaloes’ depth chart. Will DeAndre Moore and Leona Lafau anchor a culture shift and spark a new era for Colorado under Deion Sanders? The Locked On Buffs Podcast outlines how these Texas imports could be the game-changers Colorado fans have been hoping for—setting the stage for a high-energy, leadership-driven season in Boulder. 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 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
