Despite a mass exodus, Deion Sanders and company are still navigating the NCAA transfer portal in search of defensive help.
Two of the four commitments on Saturday afternoon play on that side of the ball. The other two are offensive playmakers who can help fill the void of some difficult losses on that side of the ball as well.
Colorado lands four commitments on day two of the Transfer Portal
Yamil Talib, DL, Charlotte

Prior to Charlotte, Talib started out his collegiate career at Oklahoma State.
The redshirt freshman accounted for 28 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and one interception this past season with Charlotte.
He is the nephew of former Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib.
Lamont Lester Jr., DE, Monmouth

Another addition to the Buffaloes defensive line room. Lester is rated as a three-star transfer according to 247Sports.
The edge was highly favored by PFF's metrics as he recorded 91.4 PFF Grade.
He accounted for 56 quarterback pressures and a 92.7 pass-rush grade for Monmouth this past season as a freshman.
Damian Henderson II, RB, Sacramento State

This season he totaled 91 carries for 565 yards and 5 TDs (6.2 YPC)https://t.co/RlUbB6Fk7q pic.twitter.com/H0W0xN2YuI
Colorado was in need of adding a running back after losing Dallan Hayden to the NCAA transfer portal.
At Sacramento State, Damian Henderson II worked with newly hired offensive coordinator Brennan Marion in the "Go-Go" offense.
He spent his first two years with Colorado State.
In Marion's offense, Henderson carried the ball 91 times for 565 yards, recording six touchdowns on 6.2 yards per carry.
Kamryn Perry, WR, Miami (Ohio)
BREAKING: Miami (OH) transfer WR Kam Perry has Committed to Colorado, @On3Sports has learned

This season he totaled 43 receptions for 976 yards and 6 TDshttps://t.co/RlUbB6Fk7q pic.twitter.com/8FCJO6peMF
This is perhaps the splashiest of signings so far, adding another weapon for redshirt freshman Julian Lewis.
In this offense, Perry serves as a slot receiver, so it will be interesting to see what Colorado has planned for the wide receiver room, since Quentin Gibson has appeared to be the frontrunner prior to the news.
With Miami (Ohio) this past season, Perry caught 43 passes for 976 yards and six touchdowns, averaging nearly 22.7 yards per catch.
Colorado is going to need those explosive plays in the passing game.
