CU Buffs developing depth, versatility in secondary

Colorado cornerbacks coach Demetrice Martin typically likes his defensive backs to be versatile players, but that might be more important this year.

“You don’t know who’s gonna be in your locker room from one day to the next,” Martin said Monday in a virtual press conference after CU’s 15th practice of the preseason. “Just crossing fingers that everybody’s there that you’re counting on.”

Colorado cornerbacks coach Demetrice Martin said coaches are cross-training many of the defensive backs to play multiple positions.

As CU prepares for its first season under head coach Karl Dorrell — along with first-year secondary coaches Brett Maxie and Martin — position flexibility has been a point of emphasis.
