Destin was ranked No. 293 in the 2022 class as a 6-3, 223-pound quarterback and was named Mr. Football in the state of Tennessee for Division I, Class 6A his senior season. He redshirted his freshman season and played in just one game for the Wildcats this year.

The twins are adding to a large transfer haul for Colorado this offseason that includes Vanderbilt wide receiver Will Sheppard, Indiana offensive linemen Kahlil Benson and Matthew Bedford, Houston offensive lineman Tyler Johnson, and UTEP lineman Justin Mayers.
