Spring 1-on-1 battles sharpen skills for players like CB Lemondre Joe
Get to know new CSU football cornerback Lemondre “Jeezy” Joe ahead of his debut with the Rams.
The son of a former Colorado State cornerback will now be a cornerback for the Rams himself.
Jayden Cortell verbally committed to CSU on May 5, posting his announcement on X.
He’s a 5-foot-10, 180-pound defensive back coming to the Rams from San Diego Mesa College. Cortell’s dad, Ron, was a defensive back at CSU from 1985-88.
The elder Cortell had 13 career interceptions as a Ram, which is tied for sixth in program history. He turned three of those picks into touchdowns.
Jayden is the latest addition to a rebuild of CSU’s secondary under new defensive coordinator Tyson Summers. Head coach Jay Norvell said after spring practices that the team would look to add another defensive back in the spring portal.
Jayden Cortell had 54 tackles, 2.5 tackles-for-loss, two interceptions and a fumble recovery last season at San Diego Mesa.
The younger Cortell also reported offers from Utah State, New Mexico and Coastal Carolina.
