The University of Colorado has made significant additions to its athletics staff and roster, highlighted by the hiring of basketball great Danny Manning as a coach on May 7, 2024. Manning's addition is part of the Buffaloes' preparation to rejoin the Big 12 Conference. In football, the Buffaloes have been active in the transfer market, securing commitments from several players including former Florida A&M linebacker Johnny Chaney Jr., who is the 13th transfer to join in the last 18 days. Other notable transfers include WR Willie Gaines to Murray State, edge player Khairi Manns to James Madison, and linebacker Nikhai Hill-Green from Charlotte.
