Colorado senior Jaleel Awini’s career takes winding road
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado senior Jaleel Awini has followed a career path filled with detours, curves and potholes.
No qualms, though.
A highly touted prospect out of high school, his winding road began as Air Force’s starting quarterback before a violation of Academy standards led to an indefinite suspension. Awini transferred to Colorado, switched to linebacker because the Buffaloes already had a QB, switched again to wide receiver, sat out the start of this season with a herniated disk — one that threatened his career — and now fills a role on special teams for No.
