Colorado State officially announced that Interim Director of Athletics John Weber will officially move into the full-time role May 30.

Weber took over the role from Joe Parker Feb. 19 and has since been the favorite to land the job officially.

Weber is a CSU alumnus and former student-athlete for the Rams. Weber is a familiar face for CSU Athletics, having been the executive director of the Green and Gold Guard.

Weber could be found at nearly every single athletic event during his interim term, cementing himself as a familiar face among CSU fans.

While he has only served in his role for a short time, Weber has already had an impact on CSU athletics. One of his biggest wins so far was being a part of extending men’s basketball coach Niko Medved through 2029.

About the Contributor

Damon Cook, Sports Editor

Damon Cook is the 2023-24 sports editor for the The Collegian and has been at the paper since August 2022. He started doing coverage on volleyball and club sports before moving onto the women's basketball beat. He is in his third year and is completing his degree with a major in journalism and media communication and a minor in sports management. As The Collegian's sports editor, Cook reports on CSU sports and helps manage the sports desk and content throughout the week. After having a year to learn and improve, Cook will now get to be part of a new age under the sports desk. The desk moved on from all but one other person and will now enter into a new era. Damon started school as a construction management major looking to go in a completely different direction than journalism. After taking the year off during the COVID-19 pandemic, he quickly realized that construction wasn't for him. With sports and writing as passions, he finally decided to chase his dreams, with The Collegian helping him achieve that. He is most excited to bring the best and most in-depth sports coverage that The Collegian can provide.
