Colorado Buffaloes Secure Talented Kansas State Freshman Noah King From Transfer Portal
Noah King, a former freshman defensive back for the Kansas State Wildcats, has announced his commitment to the Colorado Buffaloes. His decision marks the 10th transfer portal addition for head coach Deion Sanders this spring.
King, a former four-star prospect, entered the transfer portal on April 17 and quickly became a sought-after recruit. Prior to committing to Colorado, he received offers from several programs, including the Miami Hurricanes, West Virginia Mountaineers, and Mississippi State Bulldogs. His decision to join Coach Sanders and the Buffaloes was reported by On3’s Hayes Fawcett.
This move was part of a busy Wednesday for Colorado, which added four transfer portal players that day, including safety John Slaughter, offensive tackle Larry Johnson III, and running back DeKalon Taylor. With King’s commitment, the Buffaloes have now brought in 10 transfers this spring, with four of them bolstering their secondary.
King will join a revamped defensive backfield that also includes Slaughter, former Illinois State cornerback Teon Parks, and Auburn safety Terrance Love. All four defensive backs still have significant time left to develop, with King entering his full four-year college career.
Ranked as one of the best remaining talents in the portal, King was listed by 247Sports as the No. 7 safety and a top-200 overall player before committing to Colorado. Initially recruited as a cornerback from Hamilton High School in Ohio, King was ranked as the No. 26 cornerback in his class and the seventh-best prospect in Ohio, as well as No. 218 nationally.
King’s impressive high school resume earned him offers from top programs like Kentucky, Nebraska, and West Virginia before he ultimately chose Kansas State. His move to Colorado further strengthens the Buffaloes’ defensive secondary heading into the upcoming season.
