S1E8 - Former CU LB, Kenneth Olugbode, Joins the Podcast to Talk Colorado Football

Kenneth Olugbode (KO) joins the podcast to discuss CU football. KO played for CU in 2013 - 2017 and was an integral piece to the 2016 Buffs defense that help the team achieve a top 10 AP ranking and PAC-12 South title. In 2016, KO has honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors from the league coaches (second-team by of Phil Steele’s College Football) and was named a second-team All-American by Pro Football Focus. His three fumble recoveries tied for second in the conference and he returned one of those fumbles 10 yards for a touchdown against Utah - his TD providing what turned out to be the winning points in CU's 27-22 victory that clinched the Pac-12 South Division title for the Buffs. KO led the team in tackles in 2016 (while also leading the PAC-12 and being 4th in the nation in tackles that year). KO was also the second CU player since 2000 to record 130+ tackles in a single season. KO was signed as an UDFA with the Cleveland Browns. He has since hung up his cleats, got engaged, and runs his own general contracting business. (kbobuilders.com)

KO joined the guys to discuss his playing years at CU where he gave a behind the scenes look at the CU football program. We discussed his recruitment to CU, his favorite memories, off the field teammate bonding, the 2015 and 2016 seasons, his road to the NFL, and his post-football life. He also provided his thoughts on loudest stadiums, PAC-12 realignment, and the XFL. 

He also joined the guys for the draft segment of the podcast where they drafted the best PAC-12 stadiums.
