Buffs RBs Room Has Talent, Experience, Depth

BOULDER — When it comes to depth and talent, Colorado running backs coach Gary "Flea" Harrell might have one of the most impressive position rooms on the Buffaloes' roster.

Harrell, who worked three seasons at Jackson State with Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders, has no shortage of qualified candidates from which to choose when it comes to sizing up a depth chart for the Sept. 2 opener at TCU.

Experience? The list starts with Kentucky transfer Kavosiey Smoke, who ran for 1,583 yards and 13 touchdowns in five seasons with the Wildcats. Then there's Houston transfer Alton McCaskill, the AAC Rookie of the Year in 2021, when he ran for 961 yards and 16 scores before sitting out last season with an injury.
