CSU's Compact Powerhouse DL with Proven Starter Grit
Cam Bariteau, a 6-0, 300-lb graduate student, erupted in 2024 with 34 tackles, 3.0 TFLs, and 0.5 sacks over 12 starts for Colorado State, showcasing elite leverage and brute strength that lets him dominate bigger linemen despite his shorter frame[2][9]. A reliable starter since 2022 (20 tackles each in '22-'23), he's battled minor injuries but brings relentless intensity, fumble recoveries, and multi-sport toughness from his Peddie School days[1][2]. Care about him for his blue-collar motor and NFL upside—ideal fit for gap-control schemes needing a disruptive, high-character nose who plays bigger than his size.
