Colorado defensive again and large receiver Travis Hunter Jr. is probably going going to be invited to New York Metropolis for the Heisman Trophy ceremony subsequent month. Nonetheless, he’s now not the Buffaloes’ solely two-way school soccer participant!
6-foot-3, 310-pound senior offensive lineman Tyler Brown can be going to play on the line of defense throughout this weekend’s recreation at Texas Tech.
As cool because it sounds, this transfer isn’t one which Deion Sanders and his employees needed to make in the event that they didn’t need to. It comes out of necessity. Colorado misplaced defensive finish Dayon Hayes and defensive sort out Taurean Carter to season-ending accidents, and everyone on the roster (on each group) is coping with some type of ailment at this level within the 12 months.
That is the place Tyler Brown comes into the equation. The previous Louisiana-Lafayette and Jackson State switch performed solely offensive line all through his total school soccer profession however has expertise at defensive sort out courting again to highschool in Mississippi. He even began a number of video games at proper sort out and left guard for the Buffaloes as not too long ago as final month.
Nonetheless, Colorado not too long ago employed a rotation at each offensive guard spots in the previous few weeks. Brown isn’t within the recreation each time the offense is on the sector.
That frees him as much as spend time on the opposite facet of the ball as effectively!
Identical to Hunter, Brown rocked a gray jersey at apply all week. Usually, the offense wears black and the protection wears white— or vice versa. Gray signifies a mix of the 2.
Although it isn’t best, the place change may very well be fairly cool. It’s unlikely that he’ll see a whole lot of time on protection however Tyler Brown may, fairly actually, block for Shedeur Sanders on one play and report a sack on the following. There are two two-way gamers in Boulder!
