Deion Sanders and the Buffs are losing a quality defensive back. A day after news leaked that Colorado defensive coordinator Charles Kelly was headed to Auburn, Kyndrich Breedlove has decided to hit the transfer portal.

The 6-foot, 180-pound cornerback came to CU as a transfer from Ole Miss during Coach Prime's first portal wave. An original four-star recruit from Pearl-Cohn (Tennessee), Breedlove chose Lane Kiffin's team over Mississippi State, LSU, Texas A&M and Georgia. He was the 32nd-ranked corner in the 2021 recruiting class as a two-time state football champion. The defender also earned honors as a two-time state track champion.

Breedlove recorded 12 tackles (one for loss) and a forced fumble. He had a scoop and score on a two-point conversion against Oregon State this season. The first for the Buffs since 1991 and only the second time in school history.

Sanders and his staff intend on stocking up via the portal in the next few days. The window closes on Jan. 2 with some positions on defense still needing attention. We'll see how Prime does with Kelly moving on. The former Buffs DC was a primary recruiter for several of the players on CU's roster. 

Breedlove leaves Colorado with two years of eligibility remaining on the books.
