Colorado cornerback DJ McKinney during practice on April 2, 2024, in Boulder, Colo. (CU Athletics) Throughout the 2023 season, DJ McKinney wasn’t associated with the Colorado football program, but he also couldn’t avoid hearing about it. “On social media, you open up your phone, that’s really the first thing you see about football: Colorado, Colorado,” said McKinney, who spent the past two seasons at Oklahoma State. Now, McKinney is looking to do his part to help the Buffaloes win, after transferring this winter. “Looking back at it, I really never thought I would see myself being a part of something like this,” he said.
