As we pointed out in our position preview, Colorado’s coaches completely remade the Buffs’ wide receivers room. They’ve gained talent, size and speed in the form of players such as Jimmy Horn Jr, Xavier Weaver and Javon Antonio.
When I mention size, Antonio has that covered. Standing at a hulking 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, he has dazzled social media with his work in one-on-one matchups over the summer and in fall camp. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders will have a plethora of options when the Buffs roll out their passing packages this season, according to Antonio:
“I love the offense,” Antonio said. “I love when we go four-set. When we go four-set at receiver, everybody’s getting touches. Everybody is learning and getting our timing right with Shedeur.”
I also asked Antonio about the size and physicality he brings as well as what he has to do to make an impact on offense:
“I just got to go out and do what I got to do,” he said. “I got to stay focused, go up and be physical, use my size and high point the ball. (I can’t) lose that confidence level that I’ve built up.”
