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.

Kids escape unscathed after van slips off Colorado mountain road and down Blue River embankment
A van carrying campers from a hike near Blue River rolled down an embankment Thursday afternoon, but everyone inside escaped without major injuries. According to the Keystone Science School, the 15-passenger van was transporting 13 campers and two adults back from Mohawk Lakes when it slid off a wet road and rolled over.
Emergency crews responded to Spruce Creek Road after receiving reports of a single-vehicle rollover.
“We’re fortunate that it was low speed, and there was no intrusion into the passenger cabin,” Matt Benedict, division chief of wildfire and community preparedness for Red, White and Blue Fire said.
Investigators believe muddy conditions created by recent rainfall contributed to the crash. The van rolled down a steep embankment before coming to rest against a tree. Two people suffered minor injuries, but neither required transportation to a hospital, according to fire officials.
Keystone Science School confirmed emergency responders arrived quickly and that no major injuries were reported.
“The safety and well-being of our campers and staff is our highest priority,” Executive Director Eric Rightor said in a statement. “We are grateful that there were no major injuries, and we are committed to fully supporting all those involved and their families.”
Fire officials also credited seatbelt use for helping protect those inside the vehicle. “We always encourage everyone to wear their seatbelts… and they did. And everybody left,” Benedict said.
The Keystone Science School is located in Summit County.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — Two weeks have passed since officials closed four blocks of Uintah Street to repair damage under a bridge over Shooks Run Creek, and we’re now learning specifics about the response.
Officials said that the city was the lead entity in the repair response, with Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) providing a supporting role.
The closure began late in the afternoon of June 10 for what officials described as emergency bridge and utility repairs between Prospect and Institute streets, east of the Colorado College campus.
Officials said that on the previous day, a routine bridge inspection by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) discovered a large “void,” or sinkhole, under the bridge that compromised a utility line.
But officials didn’t explain how the void developed or how they repaired it until earlier this week, when Richard Mulledy, the city’s public works director, elaborated on the situation.
“It was about a six-foot by eight-foot void,” he explained. “That void was really caused by an abandoned storm sewer line and then a leaking manhole. It’s something that we see from time to time, but really doesn’t happen often.”
Crews approached the problem from under and above the bridge, with workers excavating into the street to access the utility lines.
“The utility line being compromised was an active storm sewer line,” Mulledy said. “It was sort of hanging out in the open and was unsecured. The old storm sewer line had been abandoned for decades and was starting to fail.”
Crews removed the old stormwater pipe, repaired the manhole, and backfilled the void with a material called “flow.”
“Flow fills almost like a kind of liquid concrete,” Mulledy detailed. “And that’s a really great structural solution. So, we filled that entire thing up, made sure the void is closed, and made sure it’s structurally sound.”
He added that the bridge is around a century old, the same age as most bridges across the creek.
“This was identified and got fixed in 48 hours, rather than let something structural fail, and then we’d be in a big, giant construction project,” Mulledy said. “The structure itself, I don’t think, was ever really threatened.”
The closure ended on Saturday, June 13.
