Brendan Gant brings veteran linebacker grit and special-teams value to Colorado
In the 2024 season, Brendan Gant played in 11 games for Colorado and finished with 11 total tackles, plus a pass breakup and a fumble recovery, after a career that already includes 43 games and 113 tackles at Florida State[3]. He’s a 6-2, 200-pound inside linebacker whose biggest differentiators are experience, physicality, and versatility—he began as a defensive back before settling into linebacker, and earlier scouting/recruiting notes praised him as a hard-hitting, box-oriented defender who can thrive near the line of scrimmage[3][4][7].
