Colorado offensive lineman Jack Bailey has entered the transfer portal as a grad transfer after just one season with the Buffs.
Bailey transferred to Colorado prior to the 2022 season from Kent State and followed former head coach Sean Lewis and offensive line coach Bill O'Boyle.
Lewis and O'Boyle have since left Colorado, with Lewis hired as San Diego State's new head coach and O'Boyle coaching the offensive line at Northwestern.
Because Bailey is transferring as a graduate, he is able to enter the transfer portal outside of the transfer windows without penalty.
He started all 12 games in 2023 for Colorado and also started all 12 at Kent State in 2022.
Bailey is one of 14 players transferring from Colorado. The staff made it an emphasis this offseason to revamp an offensive line that gave up the second-most sacks of any FBS team.
Coach Deion Sanders and his coaches brought in Houston offensive lineman Tyler Johnson, FIU offensive lineman Phillip Houston, UConn lineman Yakiri Walker, UTEP lineman Justin Mayers, Indiana guard Kahlil Benson, and also signed five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton in the most recent recruiting class.
Bailey will have one year of eligibility remaining and might have an opportunity to follow his old coaches at one of their new destinations for the 2024 season.
