CU Buffs' Brett Tonz pleased with first start on OL

As a senior at Centennial High School in Peoria, Ariz., Brett Tonz was asked to help his team by playing on the offensive line.

That was more of a side gig for Tonz, however, as he made his mark as a dominant defensive lineman.

"Really I just did defense and didn't really go over the plays (on offense) much," he said. "They just told me some stuff (to do on offense) and I went out there and did it my senior year."

Four years later, Tonz is a redshirt junior for the Colorado Buffaloes playing full time on the offensive line.
