Gulbranson, a 6-foot-3, 216-pound freshman, was coming off his most productive session with the team as he turned in a very impressive spring that put him right in the mix for being the starting quarterback entering fall camp.

He was coming off a true freshman season in 2020 where he appeared in the final contest of the season against Arizona State, going 6-of-9 for 69 yards and a touchdown.

With Gulbranson set to be on the shelf for a good portion if not all of the upcoming season, the Beavers will turn to newly-minted Colorado transfer Sam Noyer, 2020 starter Tristan Gebbia, 2020 backup Chance Nolan, and freshman Sam Vidlak as the candidates heading into fall camp.
