Laviska Shenault enjoying versatile role with CU Buffs football

Three games into his sophomore year, Colorado's Laviska Shenault has earned a lot of national attention, with player of the week awards and, on Tuesday, being added to the watch list for the Biletnikoff Award.

So far, however, opposing defenses haven't had a particular player shadowing the star receiver.

"Not yet," Shenault said.

That could change as the Buffaloes (3-0) head into Pac-12 Conference play, beginning Friday night against UCLA (0-3), but it won't be easy to shadow the dynamic Shenault.

The nation's leader in receiving yards (151.7) and catches (8.7) per game, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Shenault is a matchup problem because of his talent and versatility.
