Brendan Schaub: A Long Way from Boulder, Still a Buff for Life

The Colorado football program has a deep tradition based on loyalty. The "Shoulder to Shoulder" motto represents those who have given their time, energy, blood, sweat and tears in the name of the University of Colorado.  The deep rooted brotherhood has embodied the Buffs for decades. Byron "Whizzer" White, Bobby Anderson, Rashaan Salaam, Kordell Stewart and Daniel Graham are just some of the names that have echoed across Folsom Field in the past. Another name probably not thought of when referring to CU Football is UFC Heavyweight fighter Brendan Schaub.

Some have called him "The Hybrid", others know him as "Big Brown", but before ever stepping into the octagon, Schaub was a battle warrior in a Buffs uniform.
