Overview
- On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported McKinney’s move with the cornerback later confirming it, aligning with the transfer portal’s Jan. 2 opening.
- The two-year starter opened all 13 games in 2024 and the first nine in 2025 before sitting the last three, and he has one season of eligibility remaining.
- He recorded 97 tackles, 14 pass breakups, four interceptions, four tackles for loss and one fumble recovery during his time at Colorado.
- Roster churn continues for Deion Sanders’ program, with at least 25 scholarship players announcing transfer plans and 247Sports now listing 28 Buffaloes in the portal during the current window through Jan. 16.
- Defensive end Nikhil Webb Walker also plans to transfer after missing time in 2024 due to lymphoma, intensifying needs in a secondary that returns only Carter Stoutmire, who primarily plays safety.
