After this season, the Buffs will lose three starting offensive linemen to graduation: left tackle , left guard and center .
Despite losing that group, the Buffs are excited about their future up front. The 2017 recruiting class included the best group of linemen signed by CU in years.
“I think there’s definitely a lot of ability,” line coach Klayton Adams said. “We’ll have to go through an offseason to really know.”
That group includes , who traveled with the team most of the season as an emergency option at center. The fact that he traveled “speaks a lot to his maturity, physically and mentally,” Adams said.
Throughout the season, the Buffs have also seen good things in practice from freshmen , Heston Paige, Grant Polley and William Sherman. They’re expected to add grayshirt Casey Roddick in January.
In addition, true freshman Jake Moretti hopes to be healthy in time for spring drills. After missing his senior year at Pomona High School with a knee injury, Moretti arrived at CU in January, but missed spring drills and has not practiced this fall.
