With 2020 team-leading tackler senior inside linebacker Nate Landman recovering from an injury, a slew of less-experienced linebackers have stepped up this spring for the University of Colorado football team.
Following Friday’s Spring Showcase at Folsom Field, head coach Karl Dorrell commended his linebackers for their presence this spring. “Our linebacker position is really, really athletic and talented,” Dorrell said.
Junior inside linebacker Jonathan Van Diest led the team on Friday with five unassisted tackles. In four games last season, Van Diest recorded 11 tackles. He said the abundance of reps during the spring helped him improve not only physically, but mentally.

For the final day of spring practice on Friday, the University of Colorado football team completed a Spring Showcase scrimmage. About 1,000 fans at Folsom Field witnessed a high tempo controlled scrimmage and a glimpse of the 2021 Buffs.
Head Coach Karl Dorrell noted how having an audience had the ability to change the environment.
“It was good to see some people in the stands,” Dorrell said. “I was telling them before the scrimmage that it was great to have some people watching us for change. Just imagine this place in the fall, this will be packed with 50,000 people cheering us on. We’re looking forward to that opportunity when the fall comes and it’s ready to kick off

As the University of Colorado Buffaloes football team fell short to the Texas Longhorns in the 2020 Alamo Bowl, Colorado looks to prepare itself for a redemption year. On Friday, the Buffaloes held an intrasquad scrimmage for the first time during the spring practice season.
Prior to the scrimmage, head coach Karl Dorrell described mixed results during the practices leading up to Friday.
“I wish it was better coming off the weekend, we had a great first week,” Dorrell said. “I thought (practice) got a little sloppy at the end. I don’t know if guys are tired or lost a little bit of focus, but these are things that we can fix, for sure. There are no days off, there are no lowered expectations given how much work they’ve put in.”
