Bio
AT COLORADO: After the 2016 season, he decided to forego his senior year since he was graduating in May.
2016 (Jr.)—He saw action in all 14 games including the Alamo Bowl, and occasionally in a handful on offense (no starts). He did not have any offensive statistics, but handled all 78 snaps as the holder on the field goal/PAT unit on special teams. He also had four knockdown blocks on other units.
2015 (Soph.)—He saw action in 10 games (no starts), appearing in a couple on offense and in all on special teams. He did not record any offensive statistics but did have a knockdown block on a return on special teams duty. He caught four balls for 33 yards in the four main spring scrimmages, including two for 19 in the spring game. The coaches selected him as the recipient of the Fred Casotti Award, presented to most improved offensive back during spring practices.
2014 (Fr.-RS)—He did not see any game action, but did dress for four games. He finished up spring ball listed third on the depth chart at the “X” receiver position, having officially switched over from tight end where he mostly practiced as a frosh.
2013 (Fr.)—Redshirted; he practiced at tight end after joining the team as a recruited walk-on for August drills.
HIGH SCHOOL—In earning three letters playing tight end and wide receiver, he was a two-time All-Continental Conference performer as a junior and senior, when he combined to make 77 receptions for 874 yards and seven touchdowns. Under coach Mark Nolan, Regis was 5-6 his senior year, 5-5 his junior season and 13-1 his sophomore year, when the Rangers won its league title and reached the state championship game (he was promoted to the varsity for the playoffs). His offensive coordinator on the varsity was former Buff quarterback Bobby Pesavento (’01). He also lettered three times in lacrosse (defender); he was first-team All-Conference as a senior after being named honorable mention as a junior. Regis won the conference title both those seasons.
ACADEMICS—He is majoring in Civil Engineering at Colorado. He was a first-team Academic All-State team member in both football and lacrosse as a junior and senior in high school. He earned “First Honors” from Regis his sophomore through senior years.
PERSONAL—He was born September 3, 1994 in Littleton, Colo. His hobbies include skiing, playing the piano and guitar and playing video games. His father, Bob, was a center at Harvard from 1980-82 and his grandfather, Roger Orban, was an offensive guard at Kansas State. Since he was 6-years old, his family has been season ticket holders for CU games at Folsom Field.
