January 5, 2021 Mike Anderson Colorado Scouting Director
We start our 5280 Spotlight series by highlighting our Colorado players who are elevating their game. The 2022 Colorado class continues to impress. 15 players have committed to D1 programs and so many more remain Uncommitted and under the radar. The Colorado off-season can produce some eye popping results in development. Let’s start with a past PBR Colorado Future Games team member:
