Cormani McClain appears to be in Colorado football locker room gambling video
Colorado football transfer cornerback Cormani McClain's CU story is not over just yet. After not making it in Coach Prime's culture, McClain's name is coming back up for all the wrong reasons on Memorial Day weekend.
In a video posted on X on May 25, several players in the Buffs locker room were seen gambling with large sums of money nearby. And as BuffsBeat's Josh Tolle points out, McClain appears to be one of them.
"The video, posted to X (Formerly Twitter), was said to be obtained from a 'CU player source' on Saturday morning and allegedly shows several players shooting dice on the floor and pool tables at the team facility," Tolle prefaced before saying, "A man appearing to be Cormani McClain is seen with another man in the act while at least eight others are gathered around with large sums of money being displayed. Elements from the video appear to align with a date right before the start of the 2023 season with grey practice jerseys."
Got this from a CU player source. Maybe Shilo Sanders can borrow $$$ from his teammates to settle up the bankruptcy claim. Way to go, @DeionSanders @RickGeorgeCU. Must be the NIL. #SkoBuffs #GoBuffs #CoachPrime @dalvinthetruth @noskozone pic.twitter.com/OJ7WxoTzjt

Cormani McClain's Colorado football exit ruffled feathers in Buffs locker room
There's not been a more impactful transfer on CU's locker room morale than McClain's departure from Boulder. After coming a long way from his days of, we'll say enjoying Colorado's leisure culture, too much, McClain left and bashed the program -- claiming they "play for clicks" like Dan Lanning said last September -- on the way out.
That upset everyone, from the practice team to the Buffs' highest producers. Deion Sanders has been mum on his departure for the most part, offering details here and there but not divulging much into his true thinking.
This video probably doesn't do much to mend any fences, since McClain was clearly part of one of the locker room's darker secrets they probably wish still was one.
