CU Buffs’ Carter Stoutmire changing positions ahead of sophomore season

Carter Stoutmire will be focusing on a new position moving forward

Only months removed from his true freshman campaign with the Colorado Buffaloes, Carter Stoutmire will reportedly be switching positions from cornerback to safety.

Stoutmire, the son of former NFL safety Omar Stoutmire, dealt with injury issues for parts of his rookie season but still played in nine games, including one start against Arizona State. The 5-foot-11 Texas native finished the year with 11 total tackles, one TFL and a blocked kick.

With Colorado’s spring football practices set to begin March 18, Stoutmire should benefit from the addition of defensive coordinator Robert Livingston to head coach Deion Sanders’ staff. Livingston comes to Boulder after mentoring Cincinnati Bengals defensive backs — primarily safeties — for nearly a decade.

Stoutmire joins Shilo Sanders, Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig, Myles Slusher, Idaho State transfer Herman Smith III and others in Colorado’s talented safeties room. Trevor Woods, who was moved to linebacker late last season, could also see time at safety.

Omarion Cooper, Carter Stoutmire in ‘tight’ battle for starting CB spot opposite Travis Hunter

Carter Stoutmire and Omarion Cooper are fighting for Colorado’s starting CB spot opposite Travis Hunter

The Colorado Buffaloes have a few position battles coming down to the final few days. One of them is the cornerback spot opposite two-way star Travis Hunter.

Hunter, who has dazzled in camp and recently made a must-see interception, is locked in as one of the starters. However, the other spot is up for grabs between freshman Carter Stoutmire and Florida State transfer Omarion Cooper, head coach Deion Sanders revealed on Tuesday.

With the TCU Horned Frogs being the first opponent for the Buffs, it would be surprising to see the true freshman win the battle, but then again, Sanders lets the play do the talking.

It’s an extremely tight race, and Coach Prime even joked that whoever gets off the bus faster will get the spot. Nonetheless, both players will likely get ample playing time, and having too much talent is never a bad problem.
