Terrell Davis has inspired millions of people with his story of hard work leading to success; it only makes sense that Colorado State would look to him to help encourage not only athletes at the university but all students enrolled there.

It does seem weird: First, Deion Sanders comes to CU to be its head coach, now CSU brings on Terrell Davis to be its newest "Rambassador."

Davis will serve for one year, being the second executive the program has had; MLB Broadcaster, and CSU Alum, Jenny Cavnar was the program's first executive "Rambassador."

Though Cavnar and Davis both come from the sports world, "CSU Athletics Rambassadors" not only get involved with CSU's 16 sports programs but also with all students, speaking with the students, engaging with the media, attending university events, and working with donors and stakeholders to secure new sources of support.
