Colorado wide receiver Omarion Miller is planning on entering the transfer window, resulting in a notable loss for head coach Deion Sanders.
In his first season without superstsr Travis Hunter and his son, Shedur Sanders, Deion and the Buffaloes' offense struggles to move the ball, which results in the team shuffling quarterbacks in and out of the lineup.

Despite the issues with the offense, Miller managed to produce, racking up 45 receptions, 808 yards, and eight touchdowns last season.
He ended up catching passes from Kaidon Salter, Julian Lewis, and Ryan Staub throughout the season, though the junior is seemingly looking for stability in the passing game elsewhere.

Miller played all three years at Colorado, starting from his true freshman season. He played a support role in 2023 and 2024 with quarterback Shedur Sanders at the helm, though his volume took a massive step up after Travis Hunter's departure.

Colorado and Deion Sanders face a notable challenge entering next season, though the head coach has already taken a noteworthy step towards reshaping the offense.
What Has Colorado Done to Improve The Offense?
Redshirt freshman Julian Lewis is expected to be the starter for Colorado next season, ending the quarterback carousel, and Sanders hired Brennan Marion to be the new offensive coordinator, who was the head coach at Sacramento State.
The Buffaloes are hoping that Marion, along with a more seasoned Lewis, can lead the program back to its former offensive heights.
“We brought in a man that has shown he’s creative, innovative, knowledgeable, smart and understands today’s players,” Sanders said. “He has made a difference on the field and off everywhere he’s been.”
Colorado has primary needs at the offensive line position, an area which Sanders has struggled to address since taking over, and it will be imperative for the program to protect Lewis and give him time to throw in the pocket.
However, Miller's absence will leave a hole in the offense, and either a young receiver will need to step up, or they will need to dip their toes into the portal.
