Last season, Ponder played just two games for the Buffaloes while serving in his backup role. He recorded two rush attempts and one pass attempt. 

The Opa Locka, Fla., native also received tribute from a fellow quarterback with the Buffaloes, Colton Allen. 

“Dom, you were a blessing to so many people,” Allen wrote on Instagram. “You had a presence about you that just made everything better. You brought so much joy to me and everyone around you. I’m grateful for every lift, every practice, every rep, every conversation we got to share. I’ll carry those with me for the rest of my life.”

Ponder was going to be a part of Colorado’s spring practices, which are set to begin on Monday. It’s unknown if Sanders will postpone the start due to Ponder’s passing. 

Ponder also received a tribute from the University of Central Florida.

“Our prayers are with Dominiq and the Ponder family along with all in the Colorado football program,” the university’s football account on X wrote.

  1. Greetings everyone! If you’re looking to understand what season you are or which colors flatter your skin tone best, tools like the color analysis pro app and online quizzes can be a fantastic start. For example, if you have a pale skin tone with yellow undertones or olive skin, exploring palettes like deep summer or light spring color palette might really help pinpoint the best colors for you. It’s remarkable how seasonal color analysis uses skin tone charts, vein tests, and undertone observations—like blue veins or reddish undertones—to determine flattering color palettes.

    For those looking into deep summer color analysis, the palette often includes gentle and cool shades which enhance yellow skin tone females or people with an amber skin tone. You can also locate free color analysis and hair color simulators online to try out before committing. If you want to dive deeper into seasonal color palettes and find out what colors look best on pale skin, yellow undertone, or olive skin, explore deep summer colors for detailed charts and tips!
