A promising young DB needs to find a new home.
Colorado is set to lose one of the key members from their 2023 secondary.
Jaden Milliner-Jones, a sophomore safety for the Buffs, will reportedly enter the transfer portal, according to Hayes Fawcett, a national recruiting reporter for On3Sports.
In his only season with the Buffs, Milliner-Jones played in 12 games. He started one of those – the penultimate game of their season against Washington State – and made eight tackles. Overall, he had 25 total tackles, 19 of which where solo, and three pass breakups.
Originally from Texas, Milliner-Jones came to Boulder as a three-star recruit out of DeSoto High. ESPN ranked him as the 102nd-best safety in his class, while On3 had him ranked a bit lower, at 133.
The news isn’t entirely surprising, as the Buffs head into the season with a number of high profile recruits in the secondary. Travis Hunter and Cormani McClain are the most notable names in the group, though Oklahoma State transfer DJ McKinney and Shiloh Sanders figure to have big roles as well.
While entering the transfer portal almost always means that a player is headed elsewhere, simply putting your name into the portal is not binding, and players are allowed to return if that’s what they choose. With that being said, once a player enters the portal, the school is no longer required to honor any scholarship agreement they originally had. So unless Milliner-Jones ends up somewhere in the Big 12, that’s probably the last that Buffs fans have seen of him.
