Deion Sanders, Colorado Lose Rashad Amos' Commitment to Ole Miss in Transfer Portal

Former Miami (Ohio) running back Rashad Amos has committed to Ole Miss, according to Hayes Fawcett of On3.

Amos announced Saturday he was decommitting from Colorado after having pledged his future to the Buffs.

The 6'2" back logged just 20 carries in his first three years at Souh Carolina. After transferring to Miami ahead of last season, he ran for 1,075 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Upon entering the transfer portal, Amos initially committed to Mississippi State before reversing course and picking Colorado. His newest decision comes after he visited the Ole Miss campus.

Almost every major program has embraced the portal because it's a straightforward way to address immediate roster needs. Nobody has attacked the portal harder than Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin, who began calling himself the "Portal King" in 2022.

Ole Miss leads the way in 247Sports' team rankings for 2024 with one 5-star transfer and seven 4-star players. That follows second-place finishes in 2022 and 2023.

This offseason, the Rebels were left to replace Quinshon Judkins, who had 2,725 rushing yards and 31 TDs in two years. The portal giveth and the portal taketh away as Judkins exited and joined Ohio State.

Not surprisingly, Kiffin has been aggressive in replenishing the backfield. Amos is the fifth running back commitment out of the portal. That group includes Henry Parrish Jr., who spent two years at Ole Miss before enjoying two years with the Miami Hurricanes and former Notre Dame and LSU back Logan Diggs.

Amos apparently isn't afraid of some competition.
