The exodus from Boulder continues.
Colorado coach Deion Sanders already has seen three top recruits de-commit and now he’s losing his third assistant coach.
Defensive ends coach Nick Williams, the lead recruiter for 3 of Colorado’s top 4 rated commits, is predicted to depart this system for one more coaching position, in response to multiple reports on Saturday.
The 33-year-old became certainly one of the nation’s top assistant coaches and vocal member of Sanders’ staff.
Tight ends coach Tim Brewster, who was demoted throughout the season to make room for former Giants coach Pat Shurmer, resigned last Sunday and offensive coordinator Sean Lewis left to develop into the pinnacle coach of San Diego State on Wednesday.
Lewis was stripped of his play-calling duties in October, which went to Shurmer.
The coaches’ exit followed Colorado’s lack of three high-level recruits.
Top quarterback prospect Antwann Hill Jr. (2025). QB Danny O’Neil (2024) and three-star running back Jamarice Wilder (2025) also pulled back their pledges, leaving the Buffaloes currently with out a 2025 commitment.
All of this comes during a tumultuous first season for Sanders, who still managed to be named Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the 12 months.
After gutting a big portion of the Colorado roster he inherited, Sanders rebuilt his team through the transfer portal.
After a powerful 3-0 start that included a spot within the national rankings, Colorado ended the season on a six-game losing streak to complete 4-8 and out of bowl contention.
