The Buffaloes have already experienced repercussions, losing a 2025 four-star recruit, wide receiver Winston Watckins Jr., who cited uncertainty about Sanders’ tenure as a factor in his decommitment. Sanders, taking the rumors as compliments, believes they indicate expectations of the Buffs’ future success.
Despite the speculations, he asserted his commitment to Colorado in a recent press conference, highlighting his love for living in the state.
