Colorado football seen as bounce-back candidate for 2026 season
Summary

ESPN analyst Bill Connelly has highlighted Colorado football as a potential contender for a significant turnaround in the 2026 season. Key to this optimism is a transfer class comprised of over 40 players, which Connelly ranks among the top three in college football. The roster includes accomplished players such as receivers Danny Scudero and Kam Perry, as well as defensive contributors like Santana Hopper and Gideon Lampron. However, the team will need to develop chemistry quickly as fall camp opens on August 2. Colorado will begin its season on September 3 against Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
