LAS VEGAS — Tory Horton is a potential All-American candidate this season. After his stellar 2022 campaign in which he was essentially the only consistent target opposing defenses had to scheme for, and even still he managed to finish with 71 receptions for 1,131 yards and eight touchdowns, the senior wide receiver has already proven he can produce as well as…
Trey Paster, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound inside linebacker announced on Twitter that he will transfer from Cal to Colorado State. https://twitter.com/treypasterr/status/1655277849316585472 The former three-star prospect was offered by multiple Pac-12 programs in the 2020 cycle, including Arizona and Oregon, before he ultimately signed with the Golden Bears.

No. 22 San Diego State showed why they are in position to win the Mountain West regular season title in Tuesday’s 77-58 victory over Colorado State. Playing in their home arena, the Aztecs had six different players score 9 or more points in what was a display of great depth and experience. Jason LeDee, a transfer forward from TCU, led…
Colorado State seemed destined for heartbreak once again on Saturday afternoon. The Rams trailed Fresno State by as much as 11 in the second half and were even down 5 with 39 seconds left in the game. After the Bulldogs missed a couple of important free throws in the final minute though, the Rams took advantage of the situation and…
Colorado State snapped a five-game losing streak with a 69-53 road victory over Air Force on Tuesday night. Led by John Tonje (21) and Isaiah Stevens (20) who combined for 41 points on 18-of-27 shooting, the Rams were able to efficiently attack the Falcons with one of the more impressive offensive showings of the season. Whether it was attacking the…
Jack Howell is making a name for himself as one of the best defensive backs in college football. Coming off of a breakout campaign in which he earned Freshman All-American honors in 2021, Howell has taken his game to another level in 2022 and really shined through the early stages of the season. Through four games this fall, Howell’s 45…...
The Colorado State defense is eager to get back on the field this Saturday and use the experience they gained against an explosive Michigan offense. Speaking with a few of the players, while it was certainly frustrating to allow the Wolverines to score 51 points in Week 1 and there are a lot of things that need to be cleaned…...
Coming off of a blowout loss at Michigan, expectations have not changed for Colorado State in 2022. Everything that the Rams want to accomplish this season is still on the table, including reaching the postseason for the first time since 2017. In order for the Rams to begin the road to bowl season though, and prove that this program is…...
When Colorado State (0-1) and Middle Tennessee (0-1) face each other on Saturday, it will be the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Scheduled as a home-and-home agreement back in 2019, the Rams will host the Blue Raiders in the 2022 home opener, but then make the trip to Murfreesboro, TN in return next fall. That game is currently slated…...
Coming off of Saturday’s 51-7 loss to Michigan, head coach Jay Norvell is looking forward to the opportunity to correct the mistakes that hurt the Rams in Week 1. As the first-year CSU coach explained, there were opportunities for his team to capitalize more on both sides of the football last week, but the overall level of execution was just…...
Colorado State had no chance against No. 8 Michigan on Saturday. While it technically would have been possible for the Rams to pull an upset as 30.5 point underdogs, actually expecting an Applachian State-type result in Week 1 would have been like walking into a gas station fully expecting to win the lottery. Crazy things happen in college football, but…...
Finish better than you started. It’s a simple goal for a team in any sport, but particularly college football, where the playing field is far from even. Outside of Alabama, Ohio State, a few select others, the mindset for most teams is not national championship or bust. It can’t be — at least not in the current structure of the...
The 2022 college football season kicks off on Saturday with a Week 0 slate that features five Mountain West teams in action. While the Rams do not play on Saturday, four of the MW teams playing this weekend are on Colorado State’s schedule this fall. Three of them, Hawaii, Nevada and Wyoming, returned less production from 2021 than any other...
Going back to the spring, the Colorado State coaches had been open about wanting to see more production from the linebackers. On more than one occasion both head coach Jay Norvell and defensive coordinator Freddie Banks expressed to the media that they wanted to see the group flying all over the field and being disruptive against the run. And particularly…...
Niko Medved and his Colorado State staff are deeply rooted in the midwest. Over the years that’s served as a recruiting advantage for the Rams, as CSU has landed significant talent from Illinois, Minnesota and Nebraska, to name a few. On Monday the Rams picked up a verbal commitment from the midwest once again. Kyan Evans, a 6-foot-2, 170-pound guard…...
Colorado State picked up another verbal commitment on Monday, adding to what is already the top-rated 2023 class in the Mountain West Conference.

Colorado State’s latest verbal commit for the 2023 recruiting cycle is Damian Henderson. An ESPN top 300 recruit (No. 260) and a four-star prospect according to the world wide leader, Henderson is a 6-foot-3, 185-pound athlete out of Los Alamitos, California. CSU originally offered Henderson back in January, shortly after Jay Norvell and Co. came over from the University of…...
The Colorado State men’s basketball team has an opportunity to do something special this season. Last year the Rams became just the second group in school history to win 20 or more games in three consecutive seasons, joining Tiny Grant’s teams from 1987-1990. If CSU does it again in 2022-23, Niko Medved’s team will be the first to win 20…...
Ayden Hector was one of the most sought after recruits in the country in the 2020 cycle. The 6-foot-0, 210-pound defensive back from Bellevue, Washington was a four-star prospect coming out of Eastside Catholic High School and received offers from Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, Penn State and Wisconsin, among others. The No. 15 cornerback in the nation and No. 3 overall…...
