Five-star recruit Antonio Alfano no longer with CU Buffs football team

Antonio Alfano’s brief time as a Colorado Buffalo has come to an end.

A former five-star recruit who transferred from Alabama last winter, Alfano is no longer enrolled in school and therefore is not a part of the football team, CU confirmed to Buffzone on Friday.

Alfano, a 6-foot-5, 280-pound defensive lineman, enrolled at CU in January, recruited to Boulder by former head coach Mel Tucker. In early March, new head coach Karl Dorrell told Buffzone that Alfano had been suspended indefinitely for a violation for team rules. Now, he is no longer on the roster.

Alfano, who grew up in New Jersey, went to three different high schools, playing two years at Bergen Catholic, his junior year at Rahway High School and his senior year at Colonia High School.
