Colorado started the day with an offer the Central Michigan grad transfer DB Devonni Reed, which I covered in a separate thread. But since then, the portal activity has increased, with a few more interesting offers having been distributed by Colorado.
1. Former Minnesota tailback Ky Thomas. New OC Mike Sanford issued the offer, so we have our first example of him hitting the recruiting trail. Good way to start — go after a former player of yours that's familiar with your style. Given how run-happy the Gophers were under Sanford, I bet Thomas looks at this offer as pretty appealing.
Had a really solid freshman campaign for Minnesota last fall: 824 yards, 5.0 YPC with six scores.
2. Vanderbilt transfer defensive back Gabe Jeudy also got offered today, this time by Chandler Dorrell. The former three-star recruit signed with the Commodores' 2019 class, playing in four games as a true freshman. He enjoyed a breakout campaign with Vanderbilt this past season, recording 50 tackles (fifth on the team) and starting all 12 games in the secondary.
3. Georgetown graduate transfer Mac Hollensteiner also was on the receiving end of an offer from the Buffaloes today. While the potential Noah Fenske, who joined the Buffs ahead of this past year's spring ball, remains to be seen, CU's other transfer portal OL, Max Wray, had trouble staying healthy in 2021 and ultimately proved to be a bust as far as helping the team up front was concerned.
Hollensteiner is 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds; wound have two years of eligibility remaining.

Good to see some action by Colorado, identifying guys that could add depth/help right off the bat.
