The freshman appeared in one game for the Buffaloes, recording a pass defended against the Colorado State Rams on Sept. 14. He retains three years of eligibility.

Under coach Deion Sanders, the Buffaloes finished the season 9-3 and boast a Heisman Trophy frontrunner in Travis Hunter.

Along with Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, who are both sons of former professional athlete Deion, Nahmier seamlessly fit into the dynamic of having a professional athlete as a father on the Buffaloes team.

"Robinson has good bloodlines," Brandon Huffman of 257 Sports said. "The son of former NBA all-star Nate Robinson, the younger Robinson, like his dad, is a two-way standout, but he's made the majority of his contributions in the secondary."

Nate, a 40-year-old former three-time slam dunk champion, played 11 years in the NBA after his college career at Washington. His most notable stints came with the New York Knicks, where he played from 2005 to 2010.

Coming out of Skyline High School in Sammamish, Washington, Nahmier received a limited number of offers, including from the Washington Huskies, Colorado State, and Portland State University.

"He doesn't boast great size, but he has tremendous instincts and ability to read the quarterback and break on the ball and break up passes," Brandon Huffman of 247 Sports said. "He's also a weapon as a receiver and with his speed and quickness and ability to show elusiveness in the open field, could be a contributor in college on offense."
