BOULDER — After a successful spring foray at their new positions, two former offensive players from Durango could become future mainstays for the Colorado Buffaloes' defense.
Former Buffs quarterback Jordan Woolverton and ex-wide receiver Ben Finneseth both had outstanding Spring Showcase performances at safety last weekend.
Finneseth led all tacklers with six stops, including five unassisted. Woolverton had the scrimmage's only interception, stopping an offensive drive in the end zone, and also had a tackle.
Both, said CU head coach Karl Dorrell, could be contributors next season — and for years to come, as they become more and more comfortable with their defensive duties.
