Published April 6, 2026 · Updated April 6, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Colorado backup quarterback Dominiq Ponder had double the legal limit of alcohol in his system when he crashed his car and died March 1, according to an autopsy report.

The autopsy report, obtained by USA TODAY Sports April 6, revealed Ponder's blood-alcohol content was 0.167 g/100 mL. His family hopes his death can serve as a lesson for young people about making responsible decisions.

Following the single-car accident, Ponder's family started the Dominiq Ponder 722 Foundation to promote awareness and provide scholarships. Colorado plans to honor him with a jersey patch this season.
