Deion Sanders reels in a promising FCS edge rusher to bolster Colorado's defense

The transfer portal market has been very active for Deion Sanders and company as they have received another commitment.

North Dakota State's Toby Anene is the latest player to join Colorado.

With ten championships in the last 15 years, NDSU has dominated the FCS world.

However, North Dakota State has seen a few players transfer out of the program after losing to Illinois State in the second round of the 2025 FCS playoffs.

Anene stands at 6-foot-4, 259 pounds and has one year left in his eligibility. The game tape of his past season in Fargo is very impressive, earning him second team all-conference honors.

In addition to seven sacks, he collected 8.5 tackles for a loss, 27 tackles and six passes deflected.

During his time at North Dakota State, Anene has recorded 59 tackles, 14 tackles for a loss, and 10.5 sacks in 40 games.

Five defensive lineman, including Anene, have been signed by Colorado in the portal so far with more to come.

Just an hour apart from Anene, Colorado also received a commitment from James Madison linebacker Immanuel Ezeogu.

For the Dukes, Ezeogu appeared in all 14 games, collecting 15 tackles, 4.0 tackles for a loss, one sack, and one forced fumble.

Former Utah corner Smith Snowden has also been in talks with Colorado.

In addition to Colorado, Snowden has visits lined up with BYU, Michigan, Georgia, and Oregon.

On Sunday, Colorado hosted Bowling Green linebacker Gideon Lampron, so hopefully everything went according to plan.
