BOULDER, Colo.—Up to four freshmen will be in the University of Colorado’s starting lineup when the Buffaloes open the season at Hawaii.
New coach Jon Embree released his depth chart Monday. It listed freshmen starting at punter (Darragh O’Neill), kicker (Will Oliver) and right cornerback (Greg Henderson).
Also listed was freshman Tyler McCulloch as a co-starter with senior Toney Clemons at wide receiver. He would become the first freshman in school history to start a season opener at wide receiver if he gets the nod Sept. 3 when the Buffs try to snap a 17-game road losing streak.
Embree also said freshman D.D. Goodson will get a look this week at returning punts.
Under Embree, the Buffs are returning to a 3-4 base defense for the first time since 1994.
