Former UTEP Miners offensive guard Justin Mayers is entering his sixth preseason camp as a college football player and his first at Colorado. As one of head coach Deion Sanders’ many incoming transfers, Mayers shared his belief that the Buffs’ new-look O-line is gelling well ahead of the new season.
I sat down with Mayers at CU’s fall sports media day to discuss topics ranging from why he wears No. 66 to the wildlife he has encountered in Colorado. When we got down to football, the topic shifted to how the Buffs can elevate their offensive line play in 2024.
Here’s what Mayers had to say regarding Colorado’s progress on the O-line:
“It’s just consistency,” Mayers said. “They (coaches) did a great job recruiting. It feels like we’ve all known each other for years. Now it’s just finding that glue to hold everything down where you can look at your partner next to you and he knows exactly what you’re thinking. That’s what we’re trying to get to. I think it’s coming along pretty good.”
