Buffs Position Preview: CU Takes Significant Step Forward At Quarterback

BOULDER — Maybe no position on the Colorado Buffaloes roster has taken a bigger step forward from a year ago than quarterback.

When the Buffs headed into 2021 fall camp, they had three scholarship quarterbacks whose combined college experience totaled barely a handful of appearances.

This year, Karl Dorrell's team has six scholarship quarterbacks, including one of whom started every game last season (Brendon Lewis), and two more who have spent a year in the program learning the ropes (J.T. Shrout and Drew Carter). Also in the group are transfers Maddox Kopp and James Mott III, along with highly regarded incoming freshman Owen McCown.
