The Colorado Buffaloes have landed their first transfer portal commitment, signing forward Noah Feddersen from North Dakota State. Feddersen, a 6-10 forward, will help bolster Colorado's frontcourt after the team lost its top five rebounders from the 2025 season.

Why it matters

Colorado struggled with rebounding in 2025, finishing 13th in the Big 12 with an average of 34.6 rebounds per game. The Buffaloes are losing their top five rebounders this offseason, making Feddersen's arrival a crucial addition to their rebuilding effort.

The details

Feddersen is a redshirt junior who played three seasons at North Dakota State. He started every game for the Bison in his redshirt sophomore season, averaging a team-high six rebounds per game. While his minutes and rebounding numbers dipped slightly in his redshirt junior year, he still proved to be a capable scorer and shot blocker. Feddersen's best performance came against South Dakota, where he scored a season-high 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds.

  • Feddersen entered the transfer portal after helping North Dakota State reach the NCAA Tournament.
  • He committed to Colorado six days after an official visit to Boulder.
