Old Buffs

[damnitcarnes]

With Stefanou being 31 does that make him the oldest Buff player ever? Is there any other players from the past that played in their mid to late 20s or even 30s?

Herb Orvis was in the Army before coming to Colorado. He was probably around 25 during his last season playing for the Buffs. Bud Magrum was in the Marines and maybe around 24 when he finished playing for the Buffs. Both of them were on the 1971 team and are probably among the toughest Buffs ever. Bud tragically died in an auto accident in 1991.

Stefanou isn’t a football player. He’s a kicker.

Run that by James himself, he'd probably boomerang your nads through the goal posts and back again.

Or he'd probably agree.

I love the guy.

Isn't Stefanou currently the oldest NCAA D1 football player?

Bruce Young was a corner from 87-89, I think he was 27 or 28 when he finished. He was in the army first as I recall. I'll see if I have an old media guide.
