Former Utah All-American Trevor Reilly leaves Colorado’s coaching staff before season

Former Utes linebacker Trevor Reilly is longer coaching with the Colorado Buffaloes, according to reports. The assistant under Deion Sanders reportedly resigned before fall camp in Boulder. He has been with Coach Prime since 2021 when he was a graduate assistant at Jackson State.

Reilly was Colorado’s special teams coordinator over the past 20 months. He recently surfaced in Hawaii at a football practice on campus, but hasn’t reportedly been around Salt Lake City to visit Kyle Whittingham or the Utes players since leaving Sanders’ staff.

The Utes standout played in 48 games (32 starts) during his time at Utah from 2009-13. As one of the Pac-12’s best defenders, he earned All-American honors as a senior. According to Utah Athletics, he finished in the top five in six Utah career record categories: sacks (20, 4th/tie), sack yards (144, 4th), tackles for loss (37, 3rd), TFL yards (202, 4th), fumble recoveries (6, 4th/tie) and fumbles forced (8, 2nd/tie).

Reilly was selected by the New York Jets in the seventh round (233 overall) of the 2014 NFL draft. He spent five years with three teams in the league, including the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. Unfortunately, injuries got the best of him before retiring in 2018.

Four people were taken to the hospital after a crash in Colorado’s high country on Friday evening.

The Colorado State Patrol said three vehicles were involved in a crash on east I-70 near milepost 254 (east of South Mount Vernon Country Club Road) around 5:50 p.m. They said the rear-end crash involved a semi hauling a trailer, a Dodge Durango and a Chevrolet Silverado.

Four people in the Dodge were taken to a local area hospital, but the extent of their injuries is not yet known. CSP said no other people involved in the crash were injured.

The cause of the collision remains under investigation.

Authorities closed I-70 at milepost 254 for approximately 1.5 hours while they investigated and cleared the scene.

CSP warned drivers that the winter weather has caused icy and snow-packed areas along the highway. They urged drivers to delay traveling through the area until conditions improve. Those who must travel through the area should leave extra space between vehicles and reduce their speed.

A dog named Rocky was rescued and reunited with his owner after surviving 43 days alone in Summit County, Colorado.

Rocky, age 10, had gone missing in late December after escaping from a pet sitter while his owner was traveling.

According to local media, volunteers from Summit Lost Pet Rescue and members of the local community helped search for the dog for weeks, eventually locating and capturing him using a tip from a homeowner who spotted the dog on her Ring camera and a trap set with the owner’s scent.

According to Summit Daily, Rocky had gone from 50 pounds to 28 pounds during the time he was lost.

Video posted by Summit Lost Pet Rescue shows the heartwarming moment Rocky is reunited with his owner, Steven Maa.

“It takes partnership, a village, and donations to save lost pets,” the organization wrote on social media.
