The Colorado Buffaloes head coach offered his thoughts on the defensive back on Tuesday.

"He's my son, I'm proud of my kids, all of them. And I prepared my kids for any and everything that could possibly happen in life and in sports," he said, via ESPN. "That's part of fathering, that's part of parenting, that's part of having a relationship. 

"So, he is mentally where he needs to be, physically where he needs to be. We're praying that he gets another opportunity to go with a team, but if he doesn't, the plans have already been put forward to what he's going to do next."
