After Rashad Amos flipped his commitment from Colorado to Ole Miss late last week, it pushed Colorado to dive back into the transfer portal for more running back depth. Thursday, the Buffs landed a pledge from former Arkansas tailback Isaiah Augustave.

He carried the ball in four games as a freshman for Sam Pittman and the Razorbacks in 2023, breaking out with a 14-carry, 101-yard performance against FIU in November. Augustave followed it up in Arkansas’ final game of the year against No. 9-ranked Missouri, amassing 80 yards and one touchdown on the ground.

Earlier this spring, Augustave was getting second-team reps in Arkansas’ spring game before searching for greener pastures. He is listed at 6-foot-2, 208 pounds and has three seasons of eligibility remaining.

A three-star recruit in the class of 2023, according to Rivals, the Naples, Florida native chose Arkansas over offers from Florida State, Kentucky, Tennessee and others. Rivals ranks him as a three-star transfer.

Augustave fills the hole that Amos left when he announced his decision to flip on Saturday. He joins Ohio State transfer Dallan Hayden, incoming freshmen Micah Welch and Brandon Hood, and former walk-on Charlie Offerdahl as the five scholarship running backs on the Buffs’ roster heading into the fall.

Overall, Augustave is the 16th spring transfer addition. This leaves the Buffs at 80 total scholarships, with five more open spots to work with.

Arizona, which he visited last weekend, was the other known competition for Augustave as he searched for his next home this spring.
