BOULDER — For now, it doesn’t matter if Antonio Alfano plays a down in Boulder. He’s Mel Tucker’s biggest win since Nebraska.
In the big picture, maybe bigger.
“The Pac-12 doesn’t get a lot of elite defensive linemen like that,” Brandon Huffman, national recruiting editor at 247Sports.com, told The Denver Post after Alfano, a 5-star Alabama defensive end, announced late Monday that he was joining Tucker’s CU Buffs as a transfer.
“And now (the Buffs) got a player that was the best in the country, with a renewed focus.”
Alfano stands for everything Tucker wants the Buffs to be about.
