The Rams added a 6-foot-2-inch wide receiver to an already loaded offense. With other new transfers like Donovan Ollie and returning players like Tory Horton and Dylan Goffney, the Rams offense is set to once again be at the top of the Mountain West.

Winfield, a redshirt sophomore, was originally at Baylor before entering the transfer portal. He is one of the biggest names signed to CSU through the transfer portal.

Winfield played in 12 games last season, reeling in 12 catches for 70 yards, but could be poised for a massive breakout season. CSU saw something similar after it signed Dallin Holker a year ago, who was coming off a not-very-productive year at BYU before having a break-out season with the Rams.

The Rams were the No. 1 passing offense in the Mountain West a year ago. With the additional talent added and the expected development from quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, they should be right back in that spot at the end of next season.

After nearly missing a bowl game, going 5-7, a season ago, CSU is well set up to make it back to the postseason for the first time since 2017.

About the Contributors

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.

Milo Gladstein, Photo Director

Milo Gladstein is a fifth-year senior majoring in journalism and media communications. He is currently serving as one of the two photo directors for the 2o23-24 school year. Gladstein's work focuses on long-form stories diving deep into what it means to be human and sharing people's passion and story with the community. He did not begin as a journalism major and has worn many hats while at CSU. He began as a conservation biology major, moving to undeclared and then horticulture therapy before finally landing in the journalism department. He seeks stories about community members who are impacting the world around them in positive ways and shares those stories. Working at The Collegian has taught Gladstein about working on a team, how to develop a story and the best ways to present said stories. Most importantly, he has grown from a photographer into a photojournalist. As co-photo director, he hopes to pass that knowledge on to the next group of journalists rising through The Collegian. When not working at The Collegian or in class, Gladstein can be found reading a book or in the outdoors climbing, camping, exploring and getting lost in the mountains.
