Deion Sanders had a message for Virginia this week after rumors started swirling that they tried to lure Colorado safety Carter Stoutmire into the transfer portal with a hefty NIL offer.

Stoutmire, for his part, isn’t going anywhere. “I don’t think there’s a number out there that could get me to leave,” he said in today's spring practice press conference.

That’s the kind of heart we love over here at Glory Colorado.
The junior from Plano, Texas, played in all 13 games last season and started seven—three at safety and four at nickel. He finished sixth on the team in total tackles (43), racked up seven pass breakups, and made plays all over special teams.
And now another school’s trying to throw a bag at him? Nah.
This is exactly why Coach Prime’s building something different in Boulder. Loyalty still matters here. Integrity still matters. And if you come after one of his guys, don’t be surprised when he fires back.
