How’d he get to The Blue™?
A former high school teammate of George Holani, Titus took a somewhat circuitous route to get to Boise State. Depending on which recruiting service you go by, he carried either a 3 or 4 star rating and was recruited out of SJB by Wisconsin, Cal, Colorado, Arizona State, and Boston College. His father played football at Colorado and he initially committed there, but after a late push by the Badgers, he ended up taking his talents to Madison. He appeared in two games in his redshirt freshman season (2020) and had an interception in Wisconsin’s season-opening win vs Illinois. It appears though that, due to an undisclosed injury, he actually then medically retired and missed the 2021 season before ultimately coming back and playing in 2022. In that season, he played in five games and had 7 tackles.

2023 Prospectus
It seems as though Rodney Robinson and Seyi Oladipo are destined to be the top two safeties, but I expect Teubner, Zion Washington, and Toler to fight for–and get–a lot of playing time in the third and fourth spots in that rotation. Honestly, all of them seem very capable and the secondary is in really good hands, depth-wise, at safety.
Is he on Twitter?
Yes, indeed
Completely made up fact
The downfall of Colorado as a team, that culminated in Deion Sanders coming in to try and bring some hope back to Boulder, was a direct result of heartbreak suffered, at the institutional level, for failing to land Titus as a recruit. If it works out, though, it could be said that he was the reason their fortunes were turned around. Because sometimes, in order to regrow better, a forest has to be burned! So, the Buffs should really be grateful to Titus, if you think about it…
On the radio they had a prediction that Titus would be one of the starters this year. I don’t know if that was just radio talk but they made it sound like he is doing pretty well so far in camp.
[…] Teubner has apparently outcompeted a lot of really talented safeties, including a Big 10 transfer that was a borderline 4 star, to become the starter opposite Rodney […]
