The Broncos may or may not have a shot at drafting CU’s Shedeur Sanders in 2025. But they are bringing one of the most celebrated college quarterbacks in the state over to Dove Valley for a closer look.
Mines QB John Matocha, the NCAA’s all-time leader in total touchdowns, received an invite to the Broncos’ rookie mini-camp next month, his former school announced in a news release Sunday morning.
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Matocha, winner of the Harlon Hill Award — Division II football’s Heisman — in 2022, led the Orediggers to the NCAA Division II national championship game each of the last two seasons, throwing for 162 touchdowns and running for 28 more as a four-year starter. Under the Texan’s leadership, Mines has won four straight RMAC titles.
Firm dates on the rookie mini-camp have yet to be announced, but it’s expected to take place in early or mid-May.
Matocha joins a quarterback room that includes two new acquisitions: former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson, via a trade with the New York Jets, and fellow rookie Bo Nix, who was selected by Denver in the 2024 NFL Draft with pick No. 12.
