SAM WILDER, OT
6-5, 295, Sr., 3L
Dallas, Texas (First Baptist Academy)
AT COLORADO: This Season (Sr.)—Enters the fall as CU’s starting
split (offensive) tackles, as he’s made great strides since switching
to the position last fall. He had an outstanding spring and the
coaches named him as the recipient of the Joe Romig Award,
presented to the team’s most outstanding offensive lineman.
2003 (Jr.)—He started all 12 games at split tackle, a pretty good
accomplishment considering he moved over from defensive tackle
two weeks before the season opener. He actually posted his high
game grade of the year the first time out of the blocks, grading to
80.5 percent against Colorado State (77 snaps, 62 plus plays). For the
year, he graded out at 72.7 percent for 791 snaps from scrimmage; he
had his growing pains, allowing team-highs of seven quarterback
sacks and 27 pressures (just four and 11 over the last eight games),
but developed as the season progressed as the coaches had desired,
setting him up to be the anchor on the line as a senior. He also had
12 knockdown and one touchdown blocks; taken into account that
he was learning on the run, he was called for only three penalties all
year (the same number as CU’s four-year senior starter). He had four
knockdown blocks against Baylor for his season high, with his
touchdown block against Kansas in CU’s overtime win.
2002 (Soph.)—He played in all 14 games, making starts in the last 11
including the Alamo Bowl, at defensive tackle. He was moved inside
from end, and after adjusting to the position, won the starting job for
the fourth game of the year. In 617 snaps from scrimmage, he
recorded 38 tackles, including 26 solo and 10 tackles for loss (with
five quarterback sacks, second most on the team). He had seven
