FORT COLLINS — Colorado State defensive lineman Christian Colon is no longer a member of the football team. The university provided no reasoning, other than to confirm the redshirt freshman is no longer part of the program.

Colon joined the Rams as part of the 2016 recruiting class out of Charlotte, N.C., and redshirted last season at CSU. Plagued by injuries throughout his time, he appeared in just one game this season, playing against Utah State.

He was suspended for two games, missing the Air Force and Wyoming contests, then did not play again.
