Colorado linebacker Gideon ESPN Lampron has been named the Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week for the second straight week after a career-high 18 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and two sacks for the Buffaloes at Arizona State on Saturday.

Lampron is the first Buff to win his conference's weekly defensive honor after back-to-back games since Nate Landman in 2020, when an off week fell between Landman's two awards. He is the first Colorado player to win a conference player of the week honor in consecutive weeks since Mason Crosby did it on special teams in 2005.

The fifth-year linebacker set a career high for the fourth straight week in Tempe, with 10 of his 18 tackles solo, and posted his second straight two-sack game. He anchored a defense that held Arizona State to 108 rushing yards on 42 carries (2.6 per attempt) and four conversions on 15 third downs in a 20-10 loss.
