Former Knicks Point Guard Nate Robinson Reacts as Son Nahmier Decides to Transfer From Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes

Colorado CB Nahmier Robinson plans to enter the college transfer portal. Despite being part of one of the most standout Buffs units in recent memory, freshman Nahmier has decided to leave Deion Sanders’ tutelage. And, he’s got his father, Nate Robinson’s full support.

While the CB has remained mum about the decision, he only made a single appearance on the field this season. That might be an indication as to why he has decided to leave. Regardless, his father sure seems happy with the decision.

The legendary Knicks Guard reacted to the news on X with a simple but enthusiastic, “Let’s go, son!”

The Knicks star showed even more support for Nahmier by reposting the report again and calling the opportunities ahead for his son “new beginnings.” Nate then expressed utmost faith in his son by letting the world know that whichever school picks him will surely get a “dawg.”

With Shedeur Sanders, Shilo Sanders, Travis Hunter, and other Buffs stars set to declare for the 2025 NFL draft, it makes sense why Nahmier would be inclined to look for greener pastures.

Though fans would have preferred for him to stay at Colorado and spearhead the next generation of stars, Nahmier’s latent potential is far too promising to be left to develop on a rebuilding project.

Apart from being blessed with the Nate genes, Nahmier is a modern-day two-way player with the potential to receive and break passes at will. In many ways, he resembles the playing style of Hunter.

Like the Heisman frontrunner, Nahmier possesses the same explosiveness, along with a flexible frame that allows him to wriggle past defenders in space to make receptions.

On the defensive side of things, Nahmier, during his time at Skyline High School in Washington, displayed a strong ability to read playmakers and break up their passes, despite his shorter frame. His instincts, overall, allowed him to make a difference on the field whenever he lined up against the opposing offense.

Considering Nahmier’s marketability and the potential he promises, it won’t be surprising to see a good number of teams interested in recruiting him.

Before choosing the Buffs, Nate’s son reportedly had offers from the Huskies and the Portland State University. With Nahmier retaining three years of eligibility, it wouldn’t be surprising to see one of them make a move for him this summer.
