Episode Details

Coach Prime and Colorado may have found their most improved position group of the 2026 season, as the Buffaloes’ linebackers bring serious playmaking upside with Gideon ESPN Lampron, Liona Lefau and Tyler Martinez leading a revamped second level. After struggling against the run last year, Colorado’s defense could take a major leap under Chris Marve thanks to more speed, leadership, tackle production and depth at linebacker. The DNVR Buffs crew breaks down why Lampron could become a fan favorite, how Lefau’s SEC experience changes the room, why Martinez is a major wild card, and how young talents like Carson Crawford and Rodney Colton Jr. could impact Coach Prime’s defense in the Big 12. Jake Schwanitz & Ryan Koenigsberg Preview Coach Prime & Colorado Football's position groups heading into the 2026 Fall College Football season.
