Former Buffalo Travon McMillian ready for NFL opportunity

When all was said and done at the end of the 2018 season, Colorado Buffaloes senior tailback Travon McMillan had racked up an impressive 1,009 net yards on the ground, good for a 5.02 yards per carry average.

Colorado tailbacks have now produced 1,000-plus yard seasons for three consecutive years.

McMillian played four years of college football for the Virginia Tech Hokies before joining CU in 2018 for one more year of NCAA eligibility as a graduate transfer.

While in Blacksburg, McMillian enjoyed a 1,042-yard campaign in 2015 to go along with a 5.2 yards per carry average, as the Hokies finished 7-6 on the year and won the Independence Bowl over Tulsa, 55-52.
