Returning safety Trevor Woods was among four Buffs to earn their jersey number on Tuesday, along with Jackson State transfer safety Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig (7), Clemson transfer linebacker LaVonta Bentley (20) and returning linebacker Isaac Hurtado (29).
Woods, who will wear No. 43 again, burst onto the scene last season as a sophomore, recording 84 total tackles, eight third down stops, five pass breakups and one interception. So far this spring, it’s looking like Woods could be one of the few returning players to maintain their starting role.
“It’s a validation kind of thing,” Woods said of earning his jersey number. “Forty-three is what I’ve always worn. I think my freshman year was really the only time I’ve ever not worn it (Woods wore No. 42). It’s what my dad wore in college and high school.”
Travis Hunter (12), Jimmy Horn Jr. (5) and Shane Cokes (99) have also earned their digits.
