Returning to the Colorado football team last season, Evan Worthington was a new man — both in name and his play.

Having changed his last name from White, Worthington returned after getting dismissed from the team before the 2016 season and was one of the best players on the Buffaloes' defense last season.

Nick Fisher, meanwhile, got the most playing time of his career and showed his potential to be a top player.

Going into this year, that duo is expected to anchor the back of the CU defense at safety.
