Stanley

2021 was a down year for Stanley (6'0/195) as he had a career-low 130 receiving yards in an injury-plagued season. Colorado overall struggled on offense, and now Stanley is going to an Iowa State offense that finished fourth in the Big 12 with 31.3 points per game.

Stanley (6'0/195) enters the transfer portal after a down season for the Buffaloes. After flashing in 2020, Stanley didn’t take the leap that many expected him to. In an injury-plagued year, Stanley caught 15 passes for 130 yards and one touchdown. He will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Stanley (6'0/195) appears to be on the verge of a return to action after missing the three games prior due to injury. That being said, the redshirt sophomore was dressed out and warming up ahead of the Buffaloes’ October 23 loss to Cal, only to be held out. Stanley has caught ten passes for 69 yards and a touchdown this season.

Stanley (5'11/185) has really emerged early in his sophomore season. And boy has that been revelatory for this Colorado offense, which recently lost Laviska Shenault Jr. and Tony Brown to the next level and has been playing without an injured KD Nixon. Stanley has 12 catches for 192 yards and a touchdown during CU’s 2-0 start. Stanley’s running mate out wide is La’Vontae Shenault, Laviska’s brother. La’Vontae added three receptions for 60 yards today, finishing second on the team in both categories. Colorado gets Arizona State next week.

Stanley (5'11/185), who made a couple impressive one-handed catches during Saturday’s practice according to Brian Howell of the Boulder Daily Camera, was one of three Buffaloes that filled the punt return role during the session. Fellow wideouts Laviska Shenault Jr. and Tony Brown were the others, and both are more experienced than Stanley at this stage in their respective careers. The redshirt freshman is expected to compete for the starting slot receiver role, and with a good fall camp he could also be in line for some work on special teams.
