You likely wouldn’t recognize Jose Cerriteno if you saw him on Colorado State’s campus. He’s a big man, but built more like a linebacker than a defensive end. Hell, I didn’t even know what he looked like before talking to him after Colorado State’s practice Tuesday afternoon.
He offered me a smile and a strong handshake, and even complimented me on how cool it was that I worked at the student newspaper. I know, right?
Two weeks ago, a player wearing Cerriteno’s No. 97 made a tackle for loss in the Rams’ blowout defeat at the hands of San Diego State.
