Walk into the Leeds School of Business, you will find the most popular guy at the University of Colorado campus. Do you think we are talking about Shedeur Sanders? No! Travis Hunter? No! Not even Trevor Woods. We are talking about none other than Camden Dempsey, Colorado’s long snapper. In describing Camden, his teammate Woods said, “He’s the coolest guy on campus,“. 

“If you are looking for a finance man, 6 ‘2 and blue eyes,” you might run into Camden. This viral social media trend fits well with the unofficial Buffs’ ‘governor,‘. Underneath the coaching of Deion Sanders, he’s earned the title of “The Governor.” Let’s delve deep into the story. 

The story behind Camden Dempsey’s nickname

The term “Governor” initially appeared during the previous season after Sanders’ practice conversations with Dempsey impressed him. Dempsey has grown more of a fixture in the locker room, strengthening their bond to the point where he is currently the team’s unofficial spokesperson. On expressing his feelings on Deion’s given nickname, Dempsey said, “He always calls me ‘the mayor’ or ‘the governor’ and not ‘the president’ and I like that because I think ‘governor’ is a lot more local and it’s a lot more impactful than the president or anything,“.

Along with that, Dempsey mentioned part of this program is more than just a football program. To him, it is a shared family-like relationship with coaches, staff, and players. The most intriguing fact is that being a “Prime advocate,” his family is filled with Colorado alumni who can be traced back to 1967. Not only athleticism but also finance is in the blood of the star athlete. Currently, he has created his own YouTube page for his “State of the Program“. Let’s take a glimpse of Camden’s professional achievements.
