Jose Soto joined Colorado in 2026 after three seasons at Sacramento State.
The Central Valley product’s path included an early setback when a foot injury ended his 2024 season after he opened the year as Sacramento State’s starting right guard. He returned the following year and established himself as a full-time starter before transferring to Boulder.
Soto’s consistency dates back to Tulare Western High School, where he was named the program’s Lineman of the Year in each of his four varsity seasons and earned West Yosemite League Lineman of the Year recognition as a senior.
Soto is the son of Jose and Maira Soto and grew up with four sisters. During his time at Sacramento State, he also planned to study kinesiology.
