Wide receiver Kabion Ento is a guy looking to breakout in 2017. Ento caught eight passes for 178 receiving yards and two touchdowns last season. But with some departures in the receiving core, it opens the door for Ento to make some plays.

Ento caught two passes for 88 receiving yards and two touchdowns against Idaho State. As a JUCO transfer from East Central Mississippi Community College, Ento entered Colorado with two years of eligibility. The 2017 campaign should be a bigger season for him.

The Colorado Buffaloes will need to replace their signal-caller this season but one big strength they do have is wide receiver depth to make the transition. Ento had a decent outing in his first season with Colorado as a junior, appearing in all 13 games with one start. As an upcoming senior, he should have an expanded role in the offensive gameplan.
