Stephane Nembot, CU Buffs left tackle, eyes NFL career as way to help him give back

BOULDER — Stephane Nembot's adjustment from right to left tackle was a lot easier than his emergency conversion from defensive to offensive tackle during his redshirt freshman season for Colorado in 2012.

Nembot made that move in the middle of a game when another offensive lineman was injured.

"It was a game against Fresno State," Nembot said. "I will never forget. They moved me there, and the next thing I knew, the next game I was starting right tackle."

He didn't know the line calls. The right guard would have to point out the man Nembot was supposed to block on running plays, and if it was a pass play, Nembot would come out.
