University of Colorado Teammates Remember Quarterback Dominiq Ponder After His Death
Colorado Buffaloes began spring practice to honor Dominiq Ponder’s dedication; teammates described the session as heavy but high-effort, embodying his work ethic, officials said.
- On March 1, 2026, head coach Deion Sanders confirmed that Dominiq Ponder, junior quarterback, was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Boulder County and pronounced dead at the scene.
- Colorado State Patrol reports that the westbound 2023 Tesla crossed into oncoming lanes, crashed through a guardrail, struck an electrical pole, and rolled on Baseline Road near Newland Court.
- Ponder was a junior, non-scholarship walk-on from Opa Locka, Florida, who appeared in two games, threw one pass, and previously played at Bethune-Cookman University and Georgia Tech.
- Head coach Deion Sanders gathered the team Sunday, offered counseling resources, and players met privately before deciding to begin spring practice Monday to honor Dominiq Ponder.
- The program will continue with 14 more spring practices plus weight-room work, as Sanders is scheduled to address the media Friday and Colorado ends spring practice with an open practice and scrimmage on April 11.
