Deion Sanders is building his Colorado Buffaloes team for the next season. One of the main problems, apart from the offensive line, was stopping opposing rushing attacks. And he has brought in arguably the best run defender from the Florida State Seminoles to address it.

Linebacker DJ Lundy has committed to playing in Boulder next season. According to Pro Football Focus, Lundy was first in linebackers for his run defense this season. He entered the transfer portal last week and has now committed to being a part of Colorado's next class.

It is great news for the Colorado Buffaloes, but the college football world isn't impressed. Coach Prime faced flak from the fans after the move was made public.

Other fans think it's all about money.

One fan predicted Lundy would not have much of an impact in Colorado:

This fan took a shot at Coach Prime:

Other fans aren't convinced of the former FSU star’s credentials.

An FSU fan wished luck to their former linebacker.

But another FSU fan wasn't so gracious.

Lundy registered 17 solo tackles in the 2023 season for the Florida State Seminoles and intercepted one pass. The star linebacker also had two sacks as the Seminoles went undefeated and won the ACC championship.

Will he be able to replicate the form for the Buffaloes in his senior season?

Deion Sanders’ 2023 woes

Deion Sanders had Boulder going crazy when he took over the Buffaloes last December. But the Buffaloes tapered out on the field, as the team finished dead last in the Pac-12 conference. They lost their last six games and ended up with a 4-8 overall record.

Two of the main problems that Coach Prime faced were his offensive line proving ineffective in protecting quarterback Shedeur Sanders and his defense not being able to get stops.

Sanders has tried to address both problems by targeting offensive linemen in the transfer portal and bringing in more solid defensive guys like DJ Lundy. But will he be able to take Colorado to the promised land next season?
