BRAYDEN FOWLER-NICOLOSI NEWS

Expected to hit portal Fowler-Nicolosi is expected to enter the transfer portal, per On3.com.

Impact It was previously announced that the former Colorado State quarterback had departed the program, and unsurprisingly, he'll now look for a new program by way of the portal. Fowler-Nicolosi started 2025 as the Rams' starter, but he was benched due to poor play after tossing for 488 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions on 53.7 percent completion over three games. With head coach Jay Norvell also fired, the Rams are staring down a vast re-tooling of their roster regardless.

No longer with Colorado State Fowler-Nicolosi is no longer part of Colorado State's football team, Kevin Lytle of the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports.

Impact Fowler-Nicolosi's departure comes four days after Colorado State fired Jay Norvell as head coach. Under Norvell, Fowler-Nicolosi established himself as a potential starting quarterback, though he ultimately ceded the QB1 role to Jackson Brousseau pre-departure.

Available vs. Hawaii Fowler-Nicolosi (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game against Hawaii.

Impact Fowler-Nicolosi is set to return to action. However, he hasn't played since Week 4 and lost the starting role to Jackson Brousseau, so his return to the active roster shouldn't have a big impact in fantasy.

Out vs. Fresno State Fowler-Nicolosi (illness) won't be available against Fresno State, per Kevin Lytle of the Fort Collins Coloradoan.

Impact Fowler-Nicolosi started the season as the Rams' starter but has since been benched for Jackson Brousseau and hasn't played since Week 4. With Fowler-Nicolosi out, Darius Curry is in line to be Colorado State's top backup at quarterback Friday night.

Remains questionable Fowler-Nicolosi (undisclosed) has been listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against Fresno State.

Impact Fowler-Nicolosi, who was benched for Jackson Brousseau in Week 5, carries a questionable designation heading into Week 7. The 6-foot-2 junior, who struggled in Colorado State's first three games, is worth monitoring given Brousseau hasn't run away with the starting job in his two starts under center.

Not starting Week 5 Fowler-Nicolosi will not be starting Saturday's game against Washington State, Mike Brohard of CSURams.com reports.

Impact Fowler-Nicolosi did not impress in Week 4, completing 56.0 percent of 25 pass attempts for 176 yards and zero turnovers. He also logged six carries for minus-19 yards. In his place again is Jackson Brousseau, and Fowler-Nicolosi will have to wait for the former to potentially struggle for another shot under center. That could be the case, considering Saturday will not be the first time they switched roles this season.

Will start Week 4 Fowler-Nicolosi will be the Rams' starting quarterback Saturday against UTSA, Kevin Lytle of the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports.

Impact Despite previous struggles, it will be Fowler-Nicolosi who starts under center for the Rams again in Week 4, over Jackson Brousseau. The former has shown occasional promise by logging a touchdown in each of the Rams' first two games this season. However, his last appearance saw him log more turnovers (two) than touchdowns (one), which is why he and Brosseau were in a quarterback competition this week. Fowler-Nicolosi will look to step his game up, or else he loses his QB1 role.

Competing for QB1 reps Fowler-Nicolosi and Jackson Brousseau are competing for QB1 reps this week, Kevin Lytle of the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports.

Impact Colorado State's recent development comes shortly after the team barely defeated Northern Colorado. It marked Fowler-Nicolosi's second straight start, and he struggled both times, logging a 52.6 completion percentage for 312 yards and a 1-2 TD-INT ratio. Brosseau winning QB1 snaps would tank Fowler-Nicolosi's 2025 upside, so the latter will have to establish some consistency in practice going into Week 4 against UTSA.

However, the redshirt junior would rebound after halftime, leading the Rams on consecutive scoring drives before running for the eventual game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. It's been a slow start to the year overall for Fowler-Nicolosi, who's completed 52.6 percent of his throws for 312 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions through two contests. He'll look to turn things around next week when Colorado State hosts UTSA.

He took a significant step back in both passing yards and passing touchdowns, however he threw eight fewer interceptions than he did in 2023.
