Owens came to Boulder from Clemson as a highly touted four-star recruit and made strides this spring. He played in 10 games in 2024, primarily on special teams, and finally started getting looks on offense with 11 snaps to close the season.
This one feels like it came out of nowhere. Owens had been trending up. For a Colorado team trying to shore up the trenches in the Big 12, losing a big body like Owens hurts. Still, this is the reality of college football in 2025.
The portal giveth, and the portal taketh away.
