The Colorado Buffaloes have secured a significant addition to their roster with the acquisition of Johnny Chaney Jr, a former standout linebacker from Florida A&M. Chaney, who has been a key player for the Rattlers, is set to bring his talents to Boulder under the guidance of head coach Deion Sanders.

Chaney’s transfer comes after an impressive season where he racked up 73 tackles, 7.5 for loss, and three sacks, earning him second-team All-SWAC honors. His physical traits, standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 230 pounds, made him a formidable force on the field.

The move to Colorado is expected to add depth to the Buffaloes’ linebacker room, fitting perfectly into Robert Livingston’s 4-2-5 scheme. With two years of eligibility remaining, Chaney’s experience and skill will be invaluable as the Buffaloes look to strengthen their defense.

Coach Prime’s recruiting strategy, with Devin Rispress aiding in tapping into the Florida pipeline, seems to be compensating for recent losses. Chaney’s decision to join the Buffaloes is a testament to the program’s growing appeal and Sanders’ influence in college football.

As the Buffaloes prepare for the upcoming season, the addition of Johnny Chaney Jr. is a clear indication of their commitment to building a competitive and resilient defense. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this transfer pans out for Colorado football.
