Lester and Gooden Shine for Colorado | Colorado Buffaloes Football News

Colorado’s explosive win over Georgia Tech is sending shockwaves across college football, with two standout players lighting up the national scene. Lamont Lester Jr. just earned Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week honors after a historic debut — five tackles, 3.5 for loss, and three sacks, the most by a Buffs player in their first game since 2003. Meanwhile, Chauncey Gooden stunned everyone by dominating both offense and defense as an interior lineman, earning Outland Trophy National Player of the Week recognition from the Football Writers Association of America. His dual-role performance also landed him on the preseason Outland watch list, while the entire offensive line graded elite in pass protection and run blocking. With this momentum, Colorado could be serious contenders for the Joe Moore Award. These accolades aren’t flukes — they’re proof the Buffs’ hard work is paying off, and more stars are poised to emerge.
