Gaines transferred to Jackson State from Dodge City Community College in Kansas. He finished the 2022 season with 27 receptions for 446 receiving yards and scored five touchdowns.
He also led the team with 169 punt return yards on 21 attempts.
Gaines, who will have two years of eligibility left, is the eighth former Jackson State player to transfer to Colorado since Sanders took the job last December. Those players include Shedeur Sanders, Shilo Sanders, Travis Hunter, Cam’Ron Simon-Craig, Tyler Brown, Jacob Politte and Alejandro Mata.
