Colorado men’s basketball gives final scholarship spot to standout walk-on

Tad Boyle’s final scholarship spot is headed to a walk-on

After playing over 70 minutes last season as a walk-on, Colorado men’s basketball redshirt sophomore Harrison Carrington has earned the Buffs’ final scholarship spot for the 2024-25 season.

The news was announced on the team’s official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday afternoon, featuring a video of head coach Tad Boyle informing Carrington and his CU teammates. As expected, a big celebration ensued.

Carrington beat out four other walk-on players for the spot, all of whom Boyle commended for their hard work. Ultimately, Carrington was the most deserving after he stepped up amid last season’s injury issues, especially early in Pac-12 play. His offensive production was slim due to the Buffs’ pecking order, but his defense and rebounding remained important.

With six of Colorado’s top seven rotational players moving on this offseason, Carrington should receive plenty of opportunities to contribute.
