Jimmy Smith has enjoyed a solid spring at cornerback.
Some positions are listed in depth order, others in “groupings” which signify that many of the listed players will see action, often in no particular order; they enter the game in an offensive package for play groups.
The depth is also attached in PDF form, as are the rosters for Saturday’s spring football game, which will be played at Folsom Field with kickoff set for shortly after at 1:00 p.m. An entire morning of activities are planned ahead of kickoff; please click on the Colorado Football / Spring Game icon on the CUBuffs.com home page.
