BOULDER — Colorado head coach Karl Dorrell and his staff knew that rebuilding a young secondary for the 2020 season would be a requirement.
What the Buffaloes coaches have discovered is that while experience is limited, there is a wealth of talent among their defensive backs, a situation that bodes well not only for this year, but for years to come.
The Buffs have only two defensive backs who started at least six games last year, senior safety Derrion Rakestraw (nine starts) and sophomore cornerback K.J. Trujillo, who stepped in after a rash of injuries at the position.
