PRACTICE NOTES: While the first practice is by no means an indicator of where players will end up on the spring depth chart, it was nevertheless interesting to see where some players were lining up in early team drills.
Defensively, CU's staff appears to want to take full advantage of Davion Taylor's versatility and athletic ability. Taylor lined up at various linebacker spots, dropped into coverage out wide on receivers, and generally seemed to be expanding on his role from last year, when he played a combination linebacker/safety spot. Redshirt freshman Jalen Sami, meanwhile, got some early reps at nose tackle alongside Mustafa Johnson and Terrance Lang on the defensive line; Isaiah Lewis saw some time at safety along with Darrion Rakestraw; and Carson Wells got plenty of reps at outside 'backer. …
Offensively, Montez took snaps with the No. 1 offense, with several different running backs getting some reps, including senior Beau Bisharat and sophomore Alex Fontenot. Up front, Will Sherman (left tackle), Kary Kutsch(guard), Colby Pursell (center), Tim Lynott Jr. (guard) and Jack Shutack (tackle) had the chance to work alongside each other.
Very noticeable was the regular presence of the tight end, with Brady Russell seeing plenty of time, along with newcomer Jalen Harris. The 6-foot-5, 255-pound grad transfer from Auburn is hard to miss, and presented a nice target for CU's quarterbacks.
Of course, Monday was simply a first look, and there's no doubt many of the spots with the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 offense and defenses will change, likely on a daily basis.
