The University of Colorado’s football team has certainly struggled in recent years. Losing season after losing season hasn’t given fans much to be excited about. But perhaps knowing that they have been watching one of the best wide receivers in school history will provide some solace.
Fifth-year senior wide receiver Nelson Spruce set a Pac-12 Conference record for most career receptions in Saturday’s loss at UCLA. His 11-reception day gave Spruce 267 career receptions, putting him ahead of the previous record holder, Mike Thomas, who played for the Arizona Wildcats from 2005-2008.
