Nate Landman’s days in a Colorado Buffaloes uniform looked like they were over when he ruptured his right Achilles in a snowy season finale against Utah last year.
The star linebacker put his NFL plans on hold, however, accepting a fifth season of eligibility the NCAA offered all student-athletes because of the pandemic.
Landman said he’s already full-go and “I couldn’t be happier with my decision.”
Nor could Karl Dorrell, the reigning conference Coach of the Year who called Landman “a great leader for us.”
“He’s a catalyst. He’s a guy that leads by not only what he says but also what he does,” Dorrell said. “You wish you had 120 Nate Landmans on your team to have that mentality.”
While Landman has been a steady presence on Colorado’s defense since his freshman year in 2017, the Buffs’ offense is led by a quarterback who has played in just one game, a sparkling performance in the Alamo Bowl.
Brendon Lewis, a dual-threat QB from Melissa, Texas, won the starting job when sophomore J.T. Shrout, a transfer from Tennessee, blew out a knee in the Buffaloes’ first fall scrimmage, putting a premature end to a tight quarterback clash that was the talk of camp.
Lewis’ backup is freshman Drew Carter, who enrolled in January and participated in spring ball, and the third QB is another freshman, Jordan Woolverton.
The Buffaloes caught a glimpse of Lewis against Texas in the Alamo Bowl when he engineered three touchdown drives in relief of Sam Noyer, who threw two first-quarter interceptions.
“He exceeded my expectations,” Dorrell said. “He had confidence and he moved the football and he made plays with his legs, he made plays with his arm. I was really impressed by that.”
More importantly, it let Lewis know he indeed belonged at the Power 5 level.
“It gave me a lot more confidence going into spring ball and then coming into fall camp,” Lewis said. “That game really helped me. Now I don’t have to go into this season to get my very first snap. I know the feel and the speed of the game.”
