If we are talking about connecting with a player when he was here, I’m going with Keith English. Freshman punter, 1984. Lived across the hall from me in the dorm. Just a super nice dude.

He was awesome but don’t forget about Cortlen Johnson. He got hurt before 62-36 or it would have been him that started that game
Guess I’m feeling extra wordy today. Sorry in advance. Mine is someone that won’t ring familiar to most.
Josh Foster. Was an offensive tackle from 1998-2002. Before my family lived in CO full time, we would road trip up for every home game from Nebraska. We’d stay at the Omni Hotel because the team stayed there. When I was really young I’d stand in the lobby to say hi to players and get a football or jersey etc. signed. When I was 5, Josh’s freshman year, I was standing in the lobby as I did and he was one of the first to walk in. I asked if he would sign my jersey and he jokingly responded “oh man I’m just a freshman lineman you don’t want my signature, you should get Mike’s (Moschetti) signature” I told him I wanted both. After that, he remembered me and came over to say hi and talk to me/the family at the Omni every weekend for the next 5 years. He gave me tours of the athletic facility and got a bunch of players to sign a poster board with game pictures, dinner with the lineman etc. Meant a lot to me as a kid. Just a genuinely nice dude going out of his way to make a kid’s weekend every home football game for 5 years straight

Easy with the language sailor.
I used up 5 years swearing watching this last season. I need to refil the tank

As a 2016 grad who hung around Boulder for the following year, mine is Sefo Liufau. We all know of his limitations as a QB, but I really admired how hard he competed through all the injuries and blowout losses. I'll never forget the crowd chanting his name during his 3-TD performance against Wazzu. The Rise doesn't happen without him.

I was a Notre Dame fan growing up. Eric Bieniemy changed that. He made me take notice of Colorado football and was the reason I chose to attend CU. In terms of the guys that were at CU when I was, you won't meet a better dude than Sean Tufts.
Dinwiddie! Love that dude. But damn, that knee collapse was gruesome.

Chris Brown
James Kidd (played against him in high school. Had to wear his name on my helmet to play him in practice during Elk Grove week. Did the same for Rae Carruth during Valley week, but for obvious reasons …)
Bloom, Spruce, Chis Hudson (let’s be honest, the 94 roster)

If we’re talking “connecting with a player”, when I was a freshman, I was dating a girl in my dorm for about two weeks but stayed “floor friends” after we stopped. About a month after we stopped, Kordell Stewart started dating her (kinda interesting in retrospect) so would hang out in her room, so everyone on our floor would be hanging.*
* two years later, a girl I had been seeing ended up dating Steve Rosga.
I'm a db guy. So for me it's been Chris Hudson, Damon Wheeler, Ben Kelly, Donald Strickland and Tyrone Wheatley. There are others but those are my favorites.
