McKenzie Tilmon is a big-bodied Colorado nose tackle pushing for a bigger role
In the 2026 season, Colorado lists McKenzie Tilmon at 6-3, 310 pounds as a senior defensive tackle, and he enters fall third at nose tackle while working toward the rotation[1]. He flashed in spring with six tackles, two tackles for loss, and one sack across the three main scrimmages[1]. The fit is intriguing if you want size, interior power, and a developmental veteran who can anchor the middle; the swing factor is whether he turns that spring disruption into steady Saturdays[1].
