Nick Nelson brings efficient spring arm talent and dual-threat upside to Colorado’s QB room
In the 2025 season, Colorado listed Nick Nelson as the No. 2 quarterback entering fall after a strong spring: 32-of-49 passing for 376 yards, 3 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, a 150.0 passer rating, plus 30 rushing yards and a score in scrimmages.[1] The draw here is efficiency, poise, and enough mobility to keep defenses honest—he looks like a clean fit if a team wants a composed, accurate QB with real competition value rather than just a name on the depth chart.[1][2]
