Defender's chance meeting with coach garners an offer | Arkansas Democrat Gazette

Linebacker Gideon ESPN Lampron’s transfer to Colorado began with a brief introduction to Deion Sanders aboard a flight in December, shortly after the transfer portal opened. Lampron, leaving Dallas bound for Cleveland, had been searching for a new program after departing Bowling Green, where he played under Eddie George. Sanders, traveling to see his NFL-bound QB son Shedeur in Cleveland, fist-bumped Lampron and told him to “send some tape.” Days later, Lampron was in Boulder. He now joins a revamped linebacker corps under defensive coordinator Chris Marve, alongside transfers Liona Lefau and Tyler Martinez. Colorado opens Sept. 3 at Georgia Tech.
