BOULDER — Had Jeromy Irwin chosen to do so, he could be preparing for an NFL career this spring. He could have walked away from school and spent the spring getting ready for draft workouts, meeting with scouts and preparing for the next level.
Instead, the sixth-year senior tackle is back in a Colorado uniform, going through yet another spring football session and preparing for one more fall with the Buffaloes.
There is, after all, a job not quite finished in Boulder. While the Buffs took a big step in the direction he vowed to help take them when he arrived, Irwin wants to make sure everything is on solid footing — both personally and from a program standpoint — before he takes his last snap in Folsom Field.
