See the full story · 1 sourcesColorado Buffaloes and coach Deion Sanders opened fall camp on Monday with a long list of questions , but three players stand out above the rest when it comes to pressure. After a 3-9 season and a major roster reset, the Buffs need answers quickly, and these three are facing the biggest individual tests.
QB Julian Lewis
Lewis is the obvious headliner. The redshirt freshman is only 18, but he is now the face of Colorado and the player expected to drive Brennan Marion's offense. That is a heavy ask for any quarterback, much less one stepping into his first full season as the starter.
Colorado brought in Isaac Wilson to compete with him, but the job still is Lewis' to lose. He has to settle the offense quickly, get comfortable with Marion's Go-Go scheme and show he can handle a rebuilt line in front of him. If Colorado is going to get back on track, Lewis has to look the part from the start.
WR Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams enters camp with a different kind of pressure. The former five-star receiver has the talent profile of a future star, but his college production has not matched up so far. He has 348 career receiving yards and two touchdowns, including just 81 yards last season.
Colorado's receiver room is deeper now, which makes Williams' job even harder. He has to stay healthy and show consistency by winning snaps in a crowded group that includes Danny Scudero and Kam Perry. If he does not separate quickly, he risks slipping further down the depth chart.
DL Quency Wiggins
Wiggins is trying to reset his career after transferring from LSU. Colorado has moved him inside on the defensive line, hoping the change gives him a better fit and a clearer path to the field.
He has only 10 tackles over the last two seasons in Boulder, so his upcoming performance during camp matters a lot. If Wiggins cannot find traction now, it becomes harder to see where he fits in Colorado's rotation under Chris Marve.
