Call it a fortuitous union of opportunity and necessity for the Colorado football team.
Trey Udoffia, to the benefit of the entire defense, has built his body into a form more resembling a safety than a cornerback. While the Buffaloes will go into the fall with question marks dotting the entire defensive secondary, there remains a glaring need for depth at the safety spots.
Making the move from cornerback to safety, Udoffia is ready to shore up the back end of CU’s defense. A fourth-year junior in the fall, Udoffia will be one of the most experienced players in the Buffs’ defensive backfield when the 2019 season kicks off, but he is coming off his first spring as a full-time safety.
