Buffs Practice Report: LB Tchangam Challenging For Time; Young DBs Flashing; Tucker Likes Effort

BOULDER — Colorado senior Alex Tchangam is still a relative newcomer to the game of football.

But the CU outside linebacker is making up for lost time, and could find himself in a significant role when the Buffs open the season Aug. 30 against Colorado State in Denver (8 p.m., ESPN).

Tchangam, who did not play high school football, played two years at De Anza JC in California before transferring to CU in time for the 2018 season. He got some playing time last year — 90 snaps on defense in nine games — and finished with eight tackles and a sack.
