Chidobe Awuzie doesn't view himself as any better than his Colorado teammates.

Pac-12 coaches view the junior defensive back as a cut above, though.

On Tuesday, Awuzie and receiver Nelson Spruce were named to the All-Pac-12 second team, in a vote done by coaches.

"I feel like we have a lot of great players on defense and I just happen to be the one chosen by the Pac-12," Awuzie said. "It's an honor. It's a high blessing. It's a culmination of (defensive coordinator Jim) Leavitt and (safeties coach Joe) Tumpkin really coming in and changing the culture of our defense.
