Through each step of his coaching career, Tyson Summers has relished opportunities to learn and grow.
The past three years have been filled with tremendous growth, preparing Summers for his new job as the defensive coordinator at Colorado.
“The last three years have been exceptional for me from a learning standpoint and I think I’ll be able to take that and use that (at CU),” said Summers, 38, who will also coach the Buffs’ safeties. “That’s what’s given me the opportunity to be here now. If I wasn’t a very good coach or if I hadn’t learned from those experiences, I don’t think (new CU head coach Mel) Tucker would be asking me to be in this leadership position for him.
