The Colorado Buffaloes football program has become familiar with players who decided to enter the transfer portal.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders was named the head football coach in December. Once he joined the program, he told the players who were already on the roster that "we're going to try to make you quit," and bluntly informed some of the players that "we’re gonna move on."

Following this past weekend's annual spring game, at least 18 players opted to transfer. However, some of the former players have claimed that they have been denied access to practice film for 2022.

Tight end Zachary Courtney entered the transfer portal on April 19 and said the team refused to provide prospective coaches with film from 2022 practices.

Courtney took to Twitter on Tuesday to explain the situation.

"For the coaches who are trying to recruit me. I am sorry but I will not be able to get y’all my film from my practices last season since I am not allowed to have it because the head coach at CU won’t allow it," Courtney posted. "This is very unlucky and if you have any questions just text me!

"Again this is not a shot at Deion I just wanted coaches to know I have no film for them!!"
