Your senior season didn't go as well as you would have hoped. What was your feeling after the final game against Utah?
Lindsay: "It was tough because it was my last time putting on college football pads, but at the end of the day, they're going to be a talented team. It was about making my mark the whole time I was at Colorado. It wasn't about one day, one game. It was tough to lose my last college game, but also, I built so many relationships, so many brothers, and I matured a lot when I was there."
What mark do you think you left at Colorado?
Lindsay: "I feel like I left a really positive mark on Colorado that people can build upon at the University of Colorado."
You broke records at Colorado, and whenever you're asked about them, you don't really like to discuss it and just give credit to your team. But are there any records that you feel are important to you that you got?
Lindsay: "No, I really don't care about records. At the end of the day, it's about winning and losing, and we just wanted to win. That's all I wanted to do. I wanted to help rebuild a program that was once great. That's what I had my mind set on. I never went to Colorado thinking about records."
What would you say is your favorite moment in your Colorado playing career?
Lindsay: "Just every day being able to be with my teammates and being able to interact, joke, and talk with them. Those are the memories that you never forget."
How important was coach Hagan to you throughout your career?
Lindsay: "Coach Hagan was a great role model and a great father figure to me. He's a great football coach and he's always wanted us to do well and be successful."
How cool is out to be out here with Bryce and Laguda again?
Lindsay: "It's a good feeling to be here with my brothers. Those are guys that are grinding and trying to get to the same level that I am. I'm excited about it."
Is it kind of weird to be receiving handoffs from [former CSU quarterback] Nick Stevens out here?
Lindsay: "Nah, it is what it is. We're all trying to make it. Nick Stevens is a great dude. He's out here and he's showing out. I'm honored to take handoffs from him too."
Are you getting any vibes on what your projections are for the draft?
Lindsay: "That's out of my control, out of my hands. I just have to keep going and working hard."
What are trying to prove this week?
Lindsay: "I just want to be myself, be physical, and go earn a spot."
