  Draft Scout by Conference









  As Colorado head coach Karl Dorrell walked around the practice field in the spring, there was a noticeable difference without Carson Wells on the edge of the defense. CU's most dominant edge rusher over the past two seasons, Wells is now trying to make the roster with the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals. Dorrell liked what he saw on the edge, however. "A lot of guys that are taking advantage of their reps right now," he said. "They're doing pretty well. We've got guys that are really starting to respond and develop." This summer, BuffZone.com will preview each position group for CU and in this installment, we look at the defensive ends and outside linebackers. On the edge, the Buffs are looking to not only replace Wells (15.5 sacks, 38 tackles for loss in his career), but get even better.

Even with Wells, CU ranked 126th nationally in producing just 1.08 sacks per game in 2021 (13 sacks in 12 games). The Buffs were 107th in tackles for loss (59, 4.92 per game). This season, as CU shifts from a 3-4 to more of a 4-3 base defense, the Buffs will lean on several players to step up. Senior defensive end Terrance Lang, senior outside linebacker Guy Thomas and several others will be called upon to wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks. "Negative plays, sacks, TFLs," Lang said of what he wants out of himself - and the rest of the group. "I mean, tackles are cool, but I want to make game-changing plays this year. Plays that are really going to change the game and give us an edge. "There was a lot of plays I left on the field." - Daily Camera
