Each Big 12 football team’s biggest transfer portal addition so far this offseason

Loaded with another impressive incoming transfer portal class, the Colorado Buffaloes are poised to take another step forward in their first season back in the Big 12 Conference. Head coach Deion Sanders’ haul is currently ranked No. 1 in the Big 12 and No. 5 nationally, according to 247Sports.

However, the Buffs aren’t the only Big 12 football team that has attacked the portal this offseason. TCU and Arizona State, in particular, have each brought in about 20 transfers.

Coach Prime’s second spring practice season in Boulder will begin on March 18 with the Black and Gold spring game set for April 27.

Here’s a look at each Big 12 team’s biggest transfer portal addition so far this offseason:
