Any concerns that James Stefanou might have had about fitting in with his younger teammates at Colorado last season disappeared quickly.

"I think it was the second or third training session in the summer, (tight end) Eddy Lopez came up to me and he said, 'Hey, you're going to hang out with us today,'" said Stefanou, 30, who was a true freshman kicker on the CU football team this past season. "They've been awesome. It didn't really take too long to transition into that at all."

In fact, camaraderie with his teammates may have been the easiest part of Stefanou's first season in Boulder.
