Colorado Buffaloes Transfer Isaiah Augustave Lands With Virginia Cavaliers
As expected, former Colorado Buffaloes running back Isaiah Augustave has landed with the Virginia Cavaliers.
After leading the Buffs with 394 rushing yards last season, Augustave entered the college football transfer portal late in spring camp and is now committed to Virginia, On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported Sunday. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Floridian began his college career with the Arkansas Razorbacks before spending the 2024 season in Boulder.
Augustave’s commitment to Virginia is expected because Colorado coach Deion Sanders recently exposed the Cavaliers in a recent Well Off Media YouTube video for tampering with his players outside of the transfer portal. While calling out the Cavaliers for offering safety Carter Stoutmire money to leave Boulder, Sanders said he had already let Virginia have one of his players. 247Sports had reported Augustave was taking a trip to Virginia, and an unknown Colorado player yelled out Augustave’s number (23) in the video.
“Virginia, you got to stop,” Sanders said. “I let you have one. I ain’t say nothing about it. C’mon now. Come on. We let you have one. I ain’t say nothing about it.”
Led by coach Tony Elliott, Virginia has now landed 21 players from the transfer portal this offseason, including one other running back in former North Carolina Central standout J’Mari Taylor. The Cavaliers’ incoming transfer class ranks fourth in the 17-team ACC.

With Augustave officially gone, running back becomes an even greater priority for Sanders in the transfer portal. Dallan Hayden, Micah Welch, Brandon Hood and former walk-on Charlie Offerdahl currently represent the only scholarship running backs on Colorado’s roster. Only Hayden and Hood played during Colorado’s spring game on Saturday, combining for 46 rushing yards.
Following the spring game, “Coach Prime” outlined his transfer portal needs and said he’d like to add multiple running backs.
“One tremendous defensive tackle, another linebacker or two, two safeties, probably three corners, one receiver — that’s a grown man, that’s as a dog — couple running backs, a tight end, maybe a guard, a tackle, and maybe two centers,” Sanders said.
Although the Buffs naturally leaned on their passing game with quarterback Shedeur Sanders and cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter in uniform, Colorado’s rushing attack struggled in the past two years under “Coach Prime.” Welch flashed potential when healthy last season, but adding a more experienced running back from the portal would help the cause.
Colorado has lost 25 players to the portal this offseason, including six since the spring window opened on Wednesday. Of those six, four have found new homes: Augustave (Virginia), safety Savion Riley (Georgia Tech), wide receiver Adrian Wilson (North Carolina) and defensive end Taje McCoy (Oklahoma State). Center Cash Cleveland and tight end Sam Hart have yet to commit elsewhere as of this writing.
The 10-day spring transfer portal window for non-graduate players closes on April 25.

Colorado teen who survived shark attack walks runway at Avalanche charity event
DENVER (KDVR) — A Colorado teenager who lost her leg in a shark attack isn’t just walking again; she’s sharing the spotlight with one of her favorite hockey players.
Seventeen-year-old Annabelle Carlson took the runway Sunday at the Colorado Avalanche’s annual charity brunch, an event that raises money for community programs supported by Kroenke Sports Charities. The fundraiser, now in its third decade, is considered one of the team’s most impactful events of the year.
Carlson walked arm-in-arm with Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog, drawing applause from a crowd of more than 450 attendees.
Standing tall again has been a long journey for the Colorado high school student. Carlson lost her leg after surviving a shark attack during a family trip to Belize in 2024. Since then, she has undergone multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation.
“I think being negative about things like this — it takes such a toll on how you view yourself and how you get through things,” Carlson said. “But I’d rather see everything like, not everything you lose is a loss.”
Carlson has now returned to skiing and hopes to pick back up with playing her favorite sport, lacrosse. But it took a lot of guts and resilience to get to where she is now.
“In my eyes, she’s extraordinary,” Landeskog said. “What she’s gone through at that age, it’s not easy to do.”
The charity event highlights children who have overcome serious medical challenges, pairing them with Avalanche players for a runway walk to spotlight their strength. Players also served brunch and helped auction off team gear and game tickets.
“It was really cool to meet him,” Carlson said of Landeskog. “It’s definitely a flex. Not everyone gets to meet the Avalanche. I’m super lucky and super excited to be here.”
Having gone through some injuries of his own, including damage to his knee, which took him out of play for several seasons, Landeskog said Carlson’s attitude is remarkable.
“She’s young, she’s brave,” he said. “I feel like she’s got a better head on her shoulders than I do, so I feel like I can learn a lot from her as well.”
The team said many players stay in touch with the children and their families long after the event ends, adding that the annual brunch is a day the whole team looks forward to each year.
