Former Colorado State return man and wide receiver Deionte Gaines has committed to the University of Southern Illinois. After entering spring ball listed as a starting wide receiver for Mike Bobo’s Rams, Gaines was granted his release from the program this spring.

The loss of Gaines is big for CSU, especially on special teams. Gaines was easily one of the fastest players in the Mountain West and his ability to break a big play on the outside made him a threat to take the ball to the end zone on any given play.
