Lampron joined the Buffaloes after an impressive 2025 season at Bowling Green. He started all 12 games for the Falcons finishing with 119 total tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. He was also made one of the team’s four captains.

His success earned him First Team All-MAC honors along with honorable mention All-American recognition. According to Colorado’s roster, the new Colorado linebacker was the only player in the country throughout the 2025 regular season to record at least 100 tackles and 15 tackles for loss.

These numbers are what helped make him an important addition to Colorado’s defense.Coach Deion Sanders brought him in through the transfer portal with high hopes from his experience.

Against Georgia Tech, Lampron recorded seven total tackles which included five solo tackles and one tackle for loss. For Colorado, his abilities to consistently find the football and make plays will be important throughout the season.

Due to Lampron’s philanthropic endeavors, Colorado fans will get the chance to support his work both on and off the field as he makes an impact on the Boulder community.
