It wasn’t long after the Colorado football team won the Pac-12 South division title in 2016 that Blake Stenstrom decided he wanted to be a part of the program.
Not even a disappointing 2017 season by the Buffaloes could temper Stenstrom’s excitement, and the wait is nearly over for the former Valor Christian High School quarterback, who will join the team next week.
“I’m really fired up,” Stenstrom said recently before heading to Kenya for a mission trip. “I’ve been itching to get up there ever since I committed (on Dec. 17, 2016). It feels like it’s all culminating to this point and I’m really excited to get up there, even just to start the freshman orientation, working out and taking classes.
