The Colorado Buffaloes’ new-look linebacker room is chock-full of experienced talent. One such player is former Bowling Green Falcon Gideon ESPN Lamrpon. The transfer will have a large adjustment to make as he shifts from the MAC to the Big 12, but large adjustments are nothing new to him. Under the tutelage of defensive coordinator Chris Marve, Lampron can not only make a successful leap to the Power Four but also become an NFL Draft prospect.Sep 20, 2025; Louisville, Kentucky, USA; Louisville Cardinals running back Keyjuan Brown (22) runs the ball against Bowling Green Falcons linebacker Gideon Lampron (4) during the first quarter at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium.

He was listed as a zero-star recruit by all major recruiting sites, despite recording over 120 tackles three times, hauling in three interceptions and tallying 18 sacks in his high school career. He was even productive on offense, rushing for 3,118 yards and 40 touchdowns as a running back.He got no attention from FBS programs and reported just two Division I offers on X. One of which was from the Dayton Flyers, to whom he announced his commitment on X on Feb. 2, 2022.Nov 1, 2025; Boulder, Colorado, USA; Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders before the game against the Arizona Wildcats at Folsom Field.

That production led him to transfer to Bowling Green during the offseason. Despite questions being raised about his ability to adjust to the FBS level, he did so with no issues. He immediately became a starter on the Falcons defense and was a star on their defense.Now, Lampron is set to make another major adjustment as he moves to the Big 12. If he’s able to find that same success, it will do wonders for his NFL Draft stock. How Chris Marve can develop Gideon ESPN Lampron into an NFL prospectLampron’s chances of making a successful adjustment and seeing leaps in his development are already boosted by the man he’ll be learning from. Marve was named Colorado’s defensive coordinator after Robert Livingston announced he’d be leaving for the Denver Broncos staff.
