Lamont Lester Jr. Shines for Colorado | Colorado Buffaloes Football News

Lamont Lester Jr. just exploded onto the college football scene with a jaw-dropping performance against Georgia Tech, recording three sacks and three-and-a-half tackles for loss — totaling 22 yards of disruption — earning him the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week and PFF’s top defensive line grade in Week 1. Coming from FCS, he’s now tied for the lead in sacks among Power Four linemen, just half a sack away from national supremacy. Coach Deion Sanders, who recruited him specifically for his raw talent, praised his impact — and how Lester’s dominance opened lanes for teammates, helping Colorado’s run defense hold Georgia Tech to just 51 rushing yards. This breakout isn’t just personal — it’s elevating the entire Buffaloes defense and setting the tone for a dominant season.
