In August, we learned that redshirt freshman Isaiah Hardge joined Travis Hunter in Colorado football’s “gray jersey club,” playing both offense and defense. The Buffs are now developing another two-way player, and he’s even practicing in a new color.
Starting offensive guard Tyler Brown has been seen in Well Off Media YouTube videos getting reps at defensive tackle while getting coached up by graduate assistant and Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp.
Speculation ran wild on social media about a possible position switch for Brown. All questions were put aside when another video emerged of head coach Deion Sanders asking Brown, clad in a blue practice jersey, to break down the team while confirming, “We got another two-way player.”
Listed at 6-foot-3 and 310 pounds, Brown has a game built on strength and versatility. He was Colorado’s starting right tackle to begin the season before returning to his more natural guard position. CU has recently employed a rotation at both guard positions, freeing up Brown to get reps along the defensive line.
If he does get playing time in a game, I expect to see him at tackle, where he can push around the interior offensive line to stop the run.
