Deion Sanders added a set of twins out of the transfer portal on both sides of the ball. 

Destin Wade and his twin brother Keaten Wade will be heading to Boulder, per reports on Friday. The Kentucky duo play opposite each other. 

Destin, a redshirt freshman quarterback, has been limited over the past two years. His only appearance with the Wildcats came in last season's Music City Bowl. The original three-star passer led Spring Hill Summit to the Tennessee Division I Class 5A state championship in 2020. He also earned Mr. Football Tennessee honors with his brother as a finalist. 

Keaten, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound sophomore outside linebacker, played in 26 games at Kentucky. He racked up 51 tackles (5.5 for loss), 2.5 sacks, and five quarterback hurries. A set of stout numbers for the original four-star recruit. 

This gives much-needed depth for Sanders and the Buffs within the core of the Buffs' defense and another backup behind Shedeur Sanders. Colorado lost edge talents Derrick McLendon and Jordan Domineck to the NFL. Keaten will be working as a possible starter next year. 

Destin has three years of eligibility, and Keaten will have two left starting next year. They make 10 new players on the way to Boulder for the Buffaloes.
