It's not the answer I have, though it matches very well. In theory he was there 2 years, because he was "redshirted" the first year. But Long Beach State did cancel its football program due to budget, and he went on to The University of Georgia. So I'm giving you points.Originally posted by lvbronx View Post
But here's a clue going forward....he's a current player.Comment

So here's the trivia with a clue included....
Which "current" Bronco changed colleges after just one year, because the first college dropped football from its program? (In case of more than one correct answer, please provide college details as well.)
(TD had a similar situation take place....he went to Long Beach State, was "redshirted" year one, played the next year, and then had to transfer to The University of Georgia due to the termination of the football program due to budget issues. I rewarded that answer. It was basically what the trivia question asked.)Comment

WINNER!Originally posted by HUMCALC View Post
Shaq Barrett started his college career at the University of Nebraska-Omaha in 2010. But after one year the program dropped football, which lead to his transfer to Colorado State. Barrett played three seasons (2011-13) for Colorado State University and was named Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year as a senior in 2013 after ranking fifth in the nation with 12 sacks and 20.5 tackles for a loss.
After going undrafted in the 2014 NFL Draft, Barrett signed with the Denver Broncos on May 16, 2014.
