According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, defensive lineman Samu Taumanupepe has flipped his NCAA transfer portal commitment from Florida to Colorado. A nice win for head coach Deion Sanders, bringing somebody with Big 12 and SEC experience to the roster. Not what Florida expected either, now needing to find a replacement less than 24 hours after the portal closed.
Taumanupepe began his career in College Station with the Texas A&M Aggies. Two years under Mike Elko eventually turned into Taumanupepe’s first portal appearance. Baylor was on the winning end ahead of the 2025 season. But limited playing time meant the relationship between the two did not work out.
Only six games are on the resume for Taumanupepe, not putting too much on the stat sheet. He finished with two total tackles, both of which were assisted. A pass breakup pops up on there as well, coming in the nonconference win against SMU in Dallas.
