the Alaska-built bruiser who helped power Colorado’s ground game
In Brandon Drumm’s Colorado years, he was valued less for flashy stats and more for the dirty work: a 6-foot-2, 230-pound fullback who helped pave the way for the Buffaloes’ 2001 Big 12 title run and finished his Colorado career with 479 total yards and 4 touchdowns. His differentiator was toughness—described in coverage as a violent blocker and an “Alaska Bulldozer”—plus reliable short-yardage production, including 11.6 yards per carry and all four TDs in his 2002 senior season. If you want a physical, tone-setting trench brawler, he’s your guy.
