Darian Hagan likes a lot of the talent he has to work with as Colorado's new running backs coach.

There's one particular player he's especially excited about working with, though.

"When I got this job, I said to myself and I said to other people who would listen that he's going to be my project," Hagan said of redshirt freshman Dino Gordon. "I'm going to make sure this guy will be the football player he can be and should be."

The 5-foot-11, 210-pound Gordon has to battle with several veteran backs, but he's steadily making progress and proving he belongs in the mix.
