One of the more peculiar stories involving the Colorado football program during Deion Sanders’s first year as coach has been resolved. Following the Buffaloes’ Week 8 matchup with UCLA at the Rose Bowl, several Colorado players said jewelry was stolen from their locker room.
Approximately two weeks later, Pasadena police confirmed that the items were stolen by high school recruits who were on an official visit to UCLA. The names of the recruits have not been revealed, but according to On3, the players are believed to attend Beaumont High School in Riverside County.
News of the suspects’ being identified circulated over the weekend, leading to confirmation by police.
