Colorado State head coach Jay Norvell and athletic director Joe Parker have condemned death threats toward safety Henry Blackburn after he injured Colorado wide receiver Travis Hunter with a late hit on Saturday.
that both Blackburn's and his mother's cell phone numbers had been shared on the internet by the end of Saturday's game and that both have since been inundated with threatening calls and messages. Death threats were also shared on social media.
Henry's CSU campus address in Ft. Collins and his family's home address in Boulder were also shared, according to Parker. Saturday's game was hosted by Colorado in Boulder, roughly an hour's drive from Ft. Collins. CSU police are working with local authorities to investigate the threats, according to Parker.
"We're very concerned about our player's safety, as Henry and his family have continued to receive these threats,"."Henry never intended to put anyone in harm's way on the football field. ... It's not what we teach or coach. We hope that the irrational vitriol directed at Henry stops immediately." The hit took place in the first quarter of Colorado's 43-35 double overtime victory in a high-profile matchup that drew national attention amid Colorado's now 3-0 start under first-year head coach Deion Sanders.
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders targeted Hunter on a go route down the left sideline. After the ball fell incomplete, Blackburn ran around another CSU defender who was in man coverage and blindsided Hunter with a violent hit.
