Colorado freshman guard Josiah Sanders brings two-way grit and local-star upside
In the 2025-26 season, Josiah Sanders has been a steady, versatile freshman guard for Colorado, averaging 4.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting 46.4% from the field across 33 games, with seven starts. He’s a 6-foot-5 Denver product who fits as a tough, physical combo guard: he rebounds well for his position, attacks the glass, and gives the Buffs lineup flexibility. The catch? His perimeter shooting and free throws have been inconsistent, so he looks more like a high-floor glue guy than a finished star—yet the frame, motor and local pedigree are very real.
