Colorado coach Deion Sanders is making sure quarterback Dominiq Ponder’s memory lives on this season.
Ponder died at the age of 23 in a single-car crash Saturday night, the Colorado State Patrol confirmed. He lost control on a curve and hit a guardrail, and he was pronounced dead at the scene in Boulder County. Police said a preliminary investigation revealed that “speed is suspected as a factor.” Ponder was in his second year with the Buffaloes after transferring from Bethune-Cookman; he played in two games for Colorado last season.
