12/29/20 - Juwan Mitchell, rSr/2024, Colorado, 6-0, 223 (DS#79 ILB) + More +

Texas senior linebacker Juwan Mitchell will have to sit out the first half of Tuesday's Alamo Bowl, but at least he isn't going anywhere long term. Coach Tom Herman said Monday that Texas' leading tackler this season has indicated to the coaching staff that he will return to the Longhorns for 2021. The NCAA is giving all players an extra year of eligibility because of the pandemic. Mitchell will have to miss the first half against Colorado because of his targeting call in the second half of the Kansas State game back on Dec. 5. Herman said freshman Jaylan Ford will start in Mitchell's place. Mitchell, who has a team-high 59 tackles, isn't the only senior taking advantage of the NCAA rule change. - Austin American Statesman

Shilo Sanders, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, is leaving South Carolina. The younger Sanders, a 6-foot, 195-pound defensive back from Cedar Hill, Texas, who played in nine games this season, has entered the NCAA's transfer portal, team spokesman Steve Fink said in a text Monday. Sanders was tied for seventh on the Gamecocks with 32 tackles. He becomes the latest defender to leave South Carolina since the firing of coach Will Muschamp last month. Cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Israel Mukuamu both opted out of the season following Muschamp's dismissal. - AP College Football

12/13/20 - Nate Landman, rSr/2022, Colorado, 6-3, 238 (DS#12 ILB) + More +

The heart of Colorado's defense stopped on Saturday. Late in the first half of the Buffaloes' 38-21 loss to Utah at Folsom Field, inside linebacker Nate Landman went down with an injury, and he will miss the rest of the season. It was, perhaps, the last time Landman will play for the Buffaloes (4-1, 3-1 Pac-12). Head coach Karl Dorrell said Landman has "an ankle injury, a lower leg injury," and added, "I think he's going to have an MRI, but he's down for at least the rest of the season this fall." Arguably the best player on the team, Landman was chasing Utah tight end Cole Fotheringham on a passing play late in the first half and went down without any contact.

As trainers tended to him, he was in noticeable pain and grabbing onto one trainer. Landman spent the second half on the sidelines in a walking boot on his right leg and moving around on a scooter. "Any one of our brothers, if they went down, it hurts us," receiver Brenden Rice said. "Everyone, you see the locker room was in shock." A senior from Danville, Calif., Landman is one of the leaders of the team and one of the best linebackers in the country. - Daily Camera

12/09/20 - Carson Wells, Sr/2022, Colorado, 6-3, 241 (DS#22 OLB) + More +

Landman and Wells combined for 27 tackles, 2.5 sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss and Arizona. Landman finished with 16 tackles, one sack and 3.5 tackles for loss. Wells had a career-high 11 tackles, along with four tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. The numbers are eye-popping, but not unusual. A week earlier, in a 20-10 win against San Diego State, the duo combined for 16 tackles, eight tackles for loss and three sacks (all by Landman). Landman was named Walter Camp and Bronko Nagurski national defensive player of the week and Pac-12 defensive player of the week after the San Diego State win. Wells was worthy, too.

While Landman continues his exceptional career, Wells, is emerging as a star. He has 11 tackles for loss in the last three games. To put that number in perspective, it would have been enough to lead the team for the entire season in nine of the previous 11 years. Led by Landman and Wells, the Buffs have taken dramatic steps forward on defense. In the first two games, CU gave up an average of 37.0 points and 437.5 yards per game. - Daily Camera

Shortly after Colorado defensive coordinator Tyson Summers got the call on Thanksgiving Day that the Buffaloes had less than 48 hours to prepare for a new opponent, he showed up to the office. Senior linebacker Nate Landman was a step ahead of him. "He's already there, watching film, getting ready, asking questions," Summers said. "From a coaching standpoint, that's what you love. You love the guys that eat it up and enjoy it, that want to understand every part of it. He knew his preparation needed to be correct in a short amount of time."

During a 20-10 win against San Diego State on Saturday - a game scheduled two days earlier after Southern California canceled because of COVID-19 cases - Landman registered a career-high three sacks, as well as 11 tackles and a pass breakup. It was the latest great performance in a stellar career and an exceptional season, and the honors are rolling in. On Sunday, Landman was named Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week. On Monday, he earned Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week honors for the second time this season. Also on Monday, Landman was named one of 16 semifinalists for the Butkus Award, presented annually to the best linebacker in the country. - Daily Camera

Colorado linebacker Nate Landman wasn't being flippant, just setting the record straight. Asked about the defense surrendering 10 points and how this could be a much-needed confidence boost, he pointed out his side of the ball only surrendered a field goal. Fair enough. Landman led a stellar defensive showing to help Colorado hold off San Diego State 20-10 on Saturday night as the Buffaloes remain undefeated under new coach Karl Dorrell. "(The defense) came to play today," said Buffaloes tailback Jarek Broussard, who rushed for 124 yards. "They honestly won us the game."

Colorado's offense did its part, too, with Sam Noyer running for a score and throwing for another in building an early 14-0 lead. He did throw an interception, though, that Aztecs cornerback Darren Hall returned for a 57-yard score. Hence, Landman's assessment. "All in all, I'm glad we were able to pull out the win. It was led by our defense," Dorrell said. "Good teams find ways to win, right?" Not bad for short notice. The Buffaloes and Aztecs didn't find out they were meeting on the field until Thanksgiving Day. Colorado (3-0, 2-0 Pac-12) was originally scheduled to travel to No. 19 USC for a Pac-12 South showdown, but it was canceled due to COVID-19 issues within the Trojans' program. - Colorado/AP College Football

11/25/20 - Isaiah Lewis, rSr/2023, Colorado, 5-11, 190 (DS#61 SS) + More +

Opportunities to play on defense didn't come often for Isaiah Lewis during his first three years with the Colorado Buffaloes. Two games into his fourth season, Lewis is not only playing, but he's arguably been the best member of the secondary for the Buffaloes (2-0), who are slated to visit 19th-ranked Southern California (3-0) on Saturday. "I follow the model to just trust the journey and stay true to the process," Lewis said. "I know that some guys get on the field immediately and some guys have to work their way in." A 6-foot, 205-pound safety from Granite Bay, Calif., Lewis redshirted in 2017 and made just five appearances on defense from 2018-19, playing a total of 29 snaps. He also played every game in 2019 on special teams. "I think just kind of staying loyal to special teams and making sure that I'm staying in the playbook and keying in on details, it was a difference maker," he said. "Continuing to follow details was what I stuck to and I think it worked out for the best."

Lewis didn't win a starting job in preseason camp, but played 41 snaps off the bench in the opener against UCLA. An injury to junior Chris Miller in that game opened the door even more. Lewis played all 79 defensive snaps against Stanford on Nov. 14. He's recorded seven tackles and a team-high five pass breakups so far this season. "Here's a guy that's been under the radar," head coach Karl Dorrell said. "He had a really good training camp for us and he plays a number of positions in our secondary, and particularly our safety position. Then when Chris went down, prior to the Stanford game, he had to show in that role that Chris was not able to do. He played well but I'm not surprised by that. He had a really good camp." - Denver Post
