Cartwright has been recognized as the Mountain West’s top tight end in the offseason, earning first-team honors from four different publications and being named to the John Mackey Award Preseason Watch List. In 2013, Cartwright hauled in 27 passes for 462 yards and tied for a team-high six receiving touchdowns.
Roberts, senior kicker, was named to the Lou Groza Award preseason watch list, an honor for which he was a semifinalist in 2013. He connected on 21 of 24 field goals, the second-most in a single season in CSU history, and was a perfect 58 for 58 on point after attempts, a school record. Roberts is the school’s most accurate career field goal kicker with a .882 career field goal percentage, just ahead of Jason Smith (.776), who held the record since 2008.
