Veteran offensive lineman Kahlil Benson is officially the starting right tackle opposite side of left tackle Carter Smith for the 2025 season.
He joins a starting group that Cignetti said will feature Carter Smith at left tackle, Drew Evans at left guard, Pat Coogan at center and Bray Lynch at right guard.
Benson, who transferred to Colorado last offseason from Indiana, started the first four games of the 2024 season at right guard for the Buffs. He then missed most of the seasons games due to injury or was set as a rotational player on the offensive line.
