The Buffs have needed offensive line help, and this transfer is a step in the right direction

Colorado has landed a commitment from Maryland offensive lineman Andre Roye Jr., a 6-foot-6, 294-pound tackle who brings real Power Five experience to Boulder.

Roye started seven games for the Terrapins in 2024 and appeared in 16 total over the past two seasons. He redshirted in 2022 and arrives in Boulder with two years of eligibility remaining.

Roye played primarily at left tackle during his time at Maryland and held his own against some of the Big Ten’s best pass rushers. While Colorado already has its left tackle of the future in five-star Jordan Seaton, the Buffs desperately needed more depth up front. Roye adds proven experience and could provide a valuable insurance policy at multiple spots.

This move may not grab national headlines, but it’s the type of addition that helps win games late in the season. Even if he doesn’t start, Roye’s presence raises the floor in Colorado’s offensive line room. Whether he ends up in the rotation or stays ready as a swing tackle, this is a smart depth piece for a unit that has room to grow. Additionally, his two years of remaining eligibility mean he may have a chance to start in 2026.

Welcome to Boulder, Andre!

We welcome any and all harmed during the Karl Dorrell regime

The Colorado Buffaloes have a long, storied history of being bad. There were a lot of good players on those bad teams. When Coach Prime came to Boulder in 2022, he made a big show of trying to get out the bad. That led to large roster changes in 2022, which ended up being successful. Part of that change was some players caught up in the culling (Nikko Reed comes to mind). Jack Hestera is another one of those players that found success after leaving Boulder. So much so that he’s back, baby.

Jack left the Buffs in 2022 and played for the Charlotte 49ers, where he snagged 28 catches and 3 touchdowns. From there, he transferred to the Utah State Aggies, where the fighting Bronco Mendenhalls had a nice little year. Hestera grabbed 24 passes, with 4 touchdowns. He was a great slot receiver for the Aggies, and he figures to provide the same lift here.

We’re getting Friday Night Lights at Folsom Field this August.

The Colorado Buffaloes will kick off their season in the spotlight for the third consecutive season.

CU’s week one matchup against the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets on Friday, August 29, will kick off at 6:00 pm and be broadcast nationally on ESPN, the network announced on Tuesday.

The Buffs are no stranger to the spotlight, as nearly every single game of theirs has been broadcast on a national network since the arrival of Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders before the 2023 season. Now, after the departures of superstars like Shedeur Sanders and Heisman winner Travis Hunter, it appears the Buffs aren’t losing any of their luster.

This matchup against Georgia Tech holds extra significance to Colorado fans, as it marks the 35th anniversary of the 1990 season, when the Buffs and Yellowjackets split the national title. Colorado won the AP Poll, while Georgia Tech won the Coaches Poll.

Now, three decades later, the two squads get the opportunity to hash it out at Folsom Field. The back half of the home-and-home deal between the two schools is scheduled to take place in Atlanta during week one of the 2026 season.

Get ready for some Friday Night Lights at Folsom Field this August, folks! Football season is getting closer!
