Colorado State enters 2026 with a completely revamped roster and coaching staff. Head coach Jim L. Mora, who turned around UConn, has brought in over 60 new players, including several from his former program. The Rams are transitioning to the new Pac-12, and Mora has set a championship tone from Day 1. The offense, coordinated by first-time play-caller Pryce Tracy, will feature an outside-zone run game and tight ends in the passing attack. The biggest question is at quarterback, where Oklahoma State transfer Hauss Hejny and UConn transfer K'saan Farrar are competing for the starting job. Both are talented dual-threats but lack college experience.
Defensive coordinator Tyson Summers, retained from the previous staff, runs an aggressive, attacking scheme that aims to force turnovers. The unit was hampered by injuries last season but should be healthier and bigger in 2026, especially along the defensive line. UConn transfer linebacker Oumar Diomande is expected to be a centerpiece, while Appalachian State transfer Elijah Mc-Cantos adds experience at safety. Cornerback remains a question mark due to spring injuries. If the Rams are to improve significantly, this defense must be near the top of the Pac-12 in takeaways.
The special teams unit has been rebuilt after struggles in 2025. North Texas transfer kicker Kali Nguma is expected to provide stability in the kicking game. UConn transfer running back Mel Brown could be a dangerous weapon as a kickoff returner. With a new punter and coverage units, consistency will be key for a team that needs every edge in close games.
The Rams' biggest strength is their depth at running back and the potential of their dual-threat quarterbacks in Tracy's outside-zone scheme. The tight end position should also be a weapon. However, the offensive line is rebuilt and unproven, and the wide receiver corps lacks a clear No. 1 target. Defensively, the front seven should be improved, but the secondary, especially cornerback, is a concern. The team's overall inexperience with so many new pieces could lead to early-season growing pains.
The quarterback battle between Hejny and Farrar will define the offense's ceiling. Watch how quickly the offensive line gels and whether the defense can generate turnovers at a high rate. The Rams' transition to the Pac-12 will be tested immediately, and their ability to win close games will depend on special teams and avoiding mistakes. With Mora's track record of turning programs around, Colorado State could be a surprise contender if the new pieces come together quickly.
