A projection of the scholarship players on the Colorado football team for this fall. This 87-player list includes players currently on the roster and those that have signed letters of intent this winter; it does not include, however, the possible return of suspended defensive lineman Josh Tupou. The Buffs need to get down to the NCAA maximum of 85 by the fall; they are expected to do that through more attrition or possible grayshirts (R - player has redshirt option available; MR - player has possible medical redshirt option)
