Colorado Buffaloes feature one of college football’s oldest rosters in 2026

Entering the 2026 season, the Colorado Buffaloes boast one of the oldest rosters in college football. The team's average player age is 20.63, making them the 16th oldest in the FBS, and the third oldest in the Big 12. This shift is largely due to the significant influx of more than 40 transfers during the offseason, aligning with their strategy to build through the transfer portal. The Buffaloes' approach emphasizes immediate production over internal development, leading to a roster age comparable to that of senior teams. The oldest team in the FBS is UTSA, with an average age of 21.02, while Georgia has the youngest at 19.81.
