BOULDER — Graduate transfer inside linebacker Josh Chandler-Semedo was named the University of Colorado's most valuable player for the 2022 season, one of several team honors awarded at the team's senior banquet here Sunday afternoon.
Chandler-Semedo, who transferred to CU from West Virginia this past summer, didn't need a lot of time to acclimate to the Buff program. Though playing only 27 snaps coming off the bench in the opener against TCU, he had six solo tackles, including one for a loss that set the stage to come.
He would start the next 11 games and proceed to finish as CU's leader in tackles with 101 (73 solo); he also led the Buffs in tackles for loss with 13 (including three quarterback sacks), and with five tackles for zero gains, that added to 18 at or behind the line of scrimmage.
