FORT COLLINS – After a recorded setting performance Saturday night against Utah Tech, redshirt freshman Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi was named the Freshman of the Week by the Mountain West.

Fowler-Nicolosi completed 26-of-32 passes for 462 yards and four touchdowns. His 462 passing yards was the third most in a single game in Colorado State history and set the freshman passing record for the Rams.

He started the game against the Trailblazers completing his first eight passes, which included a pair of touchdowns to Tory Horton. He was effective all game, never having back-to-back incompletions, while also finishing the game completing his last eight throws – which also included two more touchdowns.

BF-N added a rushing touchdown – his first of his career – in the second quarter and finished with 27 yards on the ground to total 489 yards in the victory.

Since making his first start of the season at Colorado, the redshirt has thrown for over 300 yards in three consecutive games. A feat that hasn't been done since Nick Stevens did so in 2017.

The redshirt leads the Mountain West in total offense with over 345 yards/game – more than 70 yards than the next. He also is the only QB in the league with a 400-yard passing performance, which came on Saturday.

Colorado State will head to Utah State on Saturday for its first Mountain West road trip. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. and will be streamed on the Mountain West Network.
