Get to know the CU Buffs defense

Second-year defensive coordinator Tyson Summers is looking to build off a promising finish to the 2019 season at the University of Colorado. The Buffs won two of its last three games allowing 14 points or less and bring a similar-looking young defense into play this season.

Some of the more notable familiar faces include senior defensive end Mustafa Johnson and senior inside linebacker Nate Landman. Both have multiple All-Pac-12 recognitions and expect to be defensive leaders once again in 2020. Even with some star power, the Buffs’ D keeps a team-first mindset.

“The beauty of this group right now is it’s a very unselfish group,” Summers said.
