University of Northern Colorado Athletics
Getting to know: Lee Barbiasz
8/11/2011 12:00:00 AM | Football
GREELEY, Colo. – A week has passed since the Northern Colorado football team first took the field for fall camp, and the differences are extremely noticeable to everyone watching.
The Bears also had two new additions in jerseys for the first time in Clarence Bumpas and Quintin Hildreth. The duo will go through the NCAA mandated acclimatization period and be in drills soon.
To celebrate the 2011 season, each practice prior to school starting uncbears.com will be highlighting a different senior on the roster. Each senior will be asked a series of questions and then those same questions will be asked to a roommate or friend on the team, as well as another player of the same position to test how well they know each other.
Lee Barbiasz, a senior offensive lineman from Milford, N.H., was named to the Big Sky All-Conference team a season ago and this year is a Phil Steele's Preseason All-Big Sky Second Team pick. He has played in all 33 games of his career, starting in 21. At 6-7, he is the tallest Bear on the roster.
Roommate Colby Riggins and fellow offensive lineman and team jokester Jake Schalamon were polled to see how well they know Barbiasz off the field.
