Quentin Gibson says Colorado football’s culture has changed in 2026

The Colorado Buffaloes revamped their entire roster this offseason, bringing in players who could fill starting roles and are hungry for a chance to prove themselves at the Power Four level. With that mindset coming from the entire team, the vibes have completely shifted inside the program.

Sophomore wide receiver Quentin Gibson spoke to the media yesterday and noted that he believes this year will be a lot different from a locker room perspective.

“I feel like it’s going to be a lot different this year,” Gibson said. “We’re coming together as a family more. We are not all over the place, we are close together.”

Last year, the most glaring issue with the Buffs was their lack of player leadership and accountability. It often felt like there were 11 guys on the field doing 11 solo jobs rather than working as a team.

Nearly every player who has spoken over the past two weeks has echoed a similar sentiment that the culture and vibes around the team are significantly improved from last year. Without a doubt, having the first week of fall camp in Colorado Springs was likely a major catalyst for how the Colorado program has come together.
