Leon Fuller's Legacy at Colorado State | Colorado Rockies News

Leon Fuller, the legendary Colorado State Rams coach who left an indelible mark on the program, has passed away at 87. His seven-year tenure from 1982–1988 saw 25 wins and 55 losses, but his legacy runs far deeper: he brought in future Hall of Fame coach Sonny Lubick, revolutionized the Rams’ look with the iconic green helmet, and led the team on a historic trip to Australia. Fuller’s influence extended beyond the field—he mentored future stars like Keli McGregor and Steve Bartalo, the school’s all-time rushing leader, and helped spark the Rams’ first win over rival Colorado in 30 years. A former star under Bear Bryant and Bum Phillips, Fuller’s impact on CSU’s culture and identity endures. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
