Fontenette Joins Buffaloes Defense | Denver News

Randon Fontenette, a physical linebacker with 25 games of college experience including 24 starts at Vanderbilt, is now joining the Colorado Buffaloes after a standout freshman year at TCU — where he even ran down on kickoff against Deion Sanders’ new squad. At 6’2” and 220 lbs, he brings elite size and hustle, competing for a key safety role alongside transfer Naeten Mitchell, who racked up 93 tackles and three interceptions last season. Coach Bell praised both players for their quick adaptation and leadership, emphasizing veteran professionalism like Ben Finneseth’s as crucial to team cohesion. With Colorado embracing a flexible multiple-safety scheme, Fontenette is poised to be a vital contributor as the program continues its upward trajectory.
