Could Isaiah Augustave really return to Boulder?

Isaiah Augustave, Colorado’s leading rusher from last season, just de-committed from Virginia and re-entered the transfer portal. Now, Buffs fans are buzzing about whether he could make a dramatic return to Boulder.

Coach Prime doesn’t usually give second chances to players who leave. But this isn’t a usual situation. Colorado’s running back room is thin, and Augustave knows the system. He ran for 394 yards and four touchdowns in 2023, starting six games and proving he could handle the load.

Drew Bledsoe throws major praise at Shedeur Sanders

Speaking on The Herd, Bledsoe said Shedeur was a “first-round talent” and that his combination of accuracy, mental toughness, and leadership is rare—even in the pros. He specifically highlighted Shedeur’s ability to “throw guys open” and his willingness to take hits and keep delivering, calling it a trait that “you can’t really teach.”

With Cleveland’s quarterback room already stacked, Shedeur still has a battle ahead. But every week, more respected voices—from LeSean McCoy to Scot McCloughan, and now Bledsoe—are making it clear: Sanders might be the Browns’ best option.
