It's a special edition of the Coloradoan's Athlete of the Week series, partnering with Blue Federal Credit Union to honor our top local sports stars.
This week's version isn't about current athletes, but former local stars who could have a noticeable impact on the gridiron this fall.
Which Fort Collins-area product will have the biggest impact on a college football team for the 2026 season? There are many great options, from the Division I FBS level to FCS and even Division II.
You can find the poll at the bottom of the page.
Voting runs through Aug. 4 at 11:59 a.m., with the winner announced at coloradoan.com/sports soon after the poll's conclusion.
