Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes made an enormous splash in the 2026 transfer portal, bringing in the 2025 FBS receiving yards leader, Danny Scudero, from San Jose State.He arrives in Boulder as a senior, looking to make a case to be selected with a 2027 NFL Draft Pick. Here’s a look at what Scudero has to do in his lone season with the Buffs to make himself an NFL Draft prospect.1. Prove His 2025 Production Can Translate to the Big 12Sep 6, 2025; Austin, Texas, USA; San Jose State Spartans wide receiver Danny Scudero (10) reaches for a pass while defended by Texas Longhorns defensive back Graceson Littleton (29) during the second half at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.

He played in an air raid offense with the San Jose State Spartans in 2025. The same offense produced the nation’s second-leading receiver in 2024, Nick Nash. However, Nash went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft and failed to record a catch in his rookie season.The same concerns that surrounded Nash at the NFL level followed Scudero into the collegiate transfer portal. Scudero was listed as just a three-star transfer and the No. 66 receiver in the portal by 247Sports. Now with the Buffaloes, it’s Scudero’s job to prove that his production was not a product of San Jose State’s system. The immensely heightened level of play in the Big 12 and Colorado’s ‘Go-Go’ offense will likely reduce the number of targets Scudero sees. Therefore, he’ll need to produce run-after-catch yards to prove that he can be a reliable wide receiver at the next level if he were in a pro-style offense.2.
