One of Colorado most productive men in the trenches is hitting the portal
It took a full 48 hours after the official opening of the transfer portal for the Colorado Buffaloes to lose a key player. Defensive end Dayon Hayes has entered the portal and will play elsewhere next season, as reported by On3 Sports on Twitter.
Hayes came to Boulder from Pitt in 2024, playing in all of CU’s first four games before suffering an undisclosed injury ahead of the Buffs’ matchup with UCF in Orlando and sitting for the remainder of the season.
In Hayes’ four games as a Buffaloes, he started all four, tallying 16 total tackles, 3.5 TFLs and 2 sacks.
Hayes was instrumental in Colorado’s defensive line emerging as one of the most underrated units in the nation, especially early in the season. Colorado will once again need to hit the portal, much like they did last season, to find some established pass rusher to reload for 2025.
Best of luck wherever you land, Dayon!
