Colorado receiver honors late father with play, dreadlocks

FILE - In this Sept. 8, 2018, file photo, Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (2) gestures after he scored a touchdown against Nebraska during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Lincoln, Neb. Shenault is the nation’s leading receiver and plays for an undefeated Power Five team, yet he remains something of an afterthought in a Heisman conversation that has been dominated by quarterbacks such as Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa and Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins thus far. Part of the problem is that Colorado has played a relatively soft schedule, due to Nebraska and UCLA having down seasons. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik, File)
