One of the success stories of fall camp at CU has been the play of Ray Polk after a year in which he decided to change positions from tailback to safety and underwent surgeries on each of his shoulders because they were chronically separating.
Coaches have raved about Polk’s play at strong safety, where sophomore Patrick Mahnke figures to start, but players like it, too.
“He’s coming along awesome right now,” free safety Anthony Perkins said. “Just from where he started to where he is now has been incredible. If he can continue to keep gaining like he is right now, I think he will be w real good player. He will be a force.”
Perkins said the entire secondary is playing at a high level and is two-deep at every position.
“We’ve got more depth I think overall as a team than we’ve had since I’ve been up here, especially at defensive backs,” Perkins said. “We’ve just got a lot of athletes who are coming along and everyone is in their playbooks. Everyone is knowing what they are supposed to be doing.”
