Teon Parks and Terrance Love are headed to Boulder
Deion Sanders is staying true to his word after CU’s spring game, as the Buffs have been active within the transfer portal. Almost immediately after the conclusion of the Black vs. Gold game, Sanders landed two key commitments to bolster the secondary from former Illinois State cornerback Teon Parks and Auburn safety Terrance Love.
Parks visited for Colorado’s spring game and committed to the program nearly 45 minutes after the conclusion of the festivities. With the Redbirds, Parks established himself as one of the top corners within FCS, tallying 41 tackles, 11 pass break-ups and a pick in 2024. Parks was one of ISU’s best players and was a key reason for their 10-4 season and FCS Playoff birth last season. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound cornerback comes to Boulder with two years of eligibility remaining. Expect Parks to play a significant role as a depth piece within CU’s cornerback room, even if he doesn’t start for the Buffs in 2025.
Love was also in town for CU’s spring game and evidently liked what he saw, committing to play in Boulder on Sunday afternoon. During his two seasons at Auburn, Love profiled as a key depth piece for the Tigers, playing in 22 games and recording eight tackles and a pass deflection. Love has two years of eligibility remaining and is another stellar depth pickup for Colorado. Love is now the likely frontrunner to fill in for either Byard or Carter Stoutmire at safety when one of the two needs to exit the game for whatever reason.
Headed into the spring transfer portal period, the Colorado Buffaloes had one major concern: depth within the secondary. CU’s starters within the secondary are top-notch, studded with the likes of Preston Hodge, DJ McKinney, Tawfiq Byard and Colton Hood, but the depth behind them was questionable at best. With the additions of Love and Parks, that concern is now squashed.
Expect the Buffs to remain active in the portal within the coming days. Sanders dropped some big hints about his portal plans during his presser after the spring game, so we’ll keep you updated here at Ralphie Report as soon as any news breaks.
