The dead period comes to an end this weekend (Friday) and that means teams can resume hosting high school, junior college and transfer players (who aren't enrolling midyear) once again. There is already one big transfer name on the list, and we'll try and keep this list updated as the weekend approaches. The next three weekends will be open for visits while 16-day span from Jan. 13-28 will be open for coaches to head off campus and make visits to schools and homes of recruits heading into the next signing period in February.
Transfer visitors
•
DE Taylor Upshaw (Michigan | 1 season of eligibility) | 2022 stats: 14 games; 12 tackles (5 solo), 4.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 1 interception
Notable: Upshaw is the son of former NFL defensive lineman Regan Upshaw and the brother of former Clemson walk-on captain and DE Regan Upshaw II. He wrapped up his career at Michigan with 36 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, 1 interception and 1 forced fumble.
•
RB Micah Bernard (Utah | 2 seasons of eligibility) | 2022 stats: 14 games; 106 carries, 533 yards rushing, 4 rushing touchdowns, 34 catches, 314 yards receiving, 1 receiving touchdown
The fourth-year sophomore from Long Beach, California made six starts in 2022 but also had to deal with a leg injury that held him back from becoming the top guy on the depth chart. He entered the portal shortly after the Rose Bowl and recently visited South Carolina. At this point, South Carolina is no longer expected to be a player, so CU is definitely an option to watch here as he visits this weekend.

DL Jordan Domineck (Arkansas/Georgia Tech | 1 season of eligibility) | 2022 stats: 13 games; 34 tackles (19 solo), 9.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles
The trenches have become important to the CU staff at this point in the process, and the veteran edge rusher from Arkansas is on the radar for the Buffs. The Lakeland, Florida native started his career at Georgia Tech before making the move to Arkansas where he played in 13 games last season. He didn't make any starts with the Razorbacks after starting 15 games with the Yellowjackets, and now he's looking for a new home to finish out his college career. Despite not being a starter, Domineck put together one of his most productive seasons and finished third in the SEC in sacks. He quickly reversed course within the last couple weeks after initially saying he'd be staying at Arkansas, so there is a strong belief that he will end up with the Buffs.

WR Xavier Weaver (South Florida | 1 season of eligibility) | 2022 stats: 9 games; 53 catches, 718 yards receiving, 6 receiving touchdowns, 4 punt returns, 36 yards
The Buffs already have one USF receiver in the mix and on campus with Jimmy Horn Jr. joining the team this offseason. Now, one of his Bulls teammates will be taking in Boulder this weekend. Weaver was the most productive pass catcher at USF in the 2022 season, and he led the team in catches, yards and touchdowns. Oklahoma and West Virginia have also offered him and both have continued to make a strong push. Weaver, who is from Orlando, checks in at 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds.
