Selected by Colorado's NFF Chapter
BOULDER — University of Colorado senior tailback Phillip Lindsay has been named the state's offensive player of the year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation.
Largely unrecruited after tearing his ACL as a senior at Denver South High School, he proceeded to play in all 51 of CU's games in his career (including the Alamo Bowl with 30 starts), and in the process became Colorado's all-time leader in all-purpose yards (5,760) and yards from scrimmage (4,683). He finished as the Buffs' second all-time leading rusher with 3,707 yards and is the first player in CU history to record back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons (and just the second to have two).
