As one of the first players to commit to Colorado in the 2017 recruiting class, and one of the first to arrive on campus, Dante Sparaco had hoped to be one of the first to make a big impact on the field.

A 6-foot-5, 245-pound outside linebacker, Sparaco played a bit early in the season before being limited to special teams. Then, a hand injury sidelined him for several games.
