BOULDER — Colorado standout linebackers Carson Wells and Nate Landman had more preseason honors added to their lists Monday.
Landman, a senior inside linebacker, was named to the watch list for the Butkus Award, given annually to the nation's top linebacker.
Wells, a junior outside linebacker, was named to the 2021 College Football America Yearbook "Preseason Dream Team" as a second-team selection.
Together, the two give Colorado one of the most potent inside-outside linebacker combinations in the nation.
Landman is no stranger to the Butkus list. A two-time first-team All-Pac-12 selection, Landman last season was a Butkus Award and Lott IMPACT Trophy semifinalist despite playing just five games (he was injured in CU's regular-season finale against Utah).
