OLB Carson Wells had four tackle for loss in CU's win over San Diego State.
BOULDER — Rather quietly, Colorado outside linebacker Carson Wells is having an outstanding season.
"Quietly" because his inside counterpart (and good friend) Nate Landman is having an eye-popping year, the kind that has made him a Butkus Award semifinalist, as well as earning him Walter Camp and Nagurski national player of the week honors.
But Wells, a 6-foot-4, 250-pound junior, is having an equally big impact on Colorado's defense. Through three games, he is third on the team in tackles with 15 (13 solo), and is the team leader in tackles for loss with seven (including two sacks).
