The Colorado Buffaloes’ secondary has been the weakest aspect of their defense in 2026, especially at the cornerback position. While Naeten Mitchell and Randon Fontenette have held down the safety positions, Colorado has struggled to find consistency outside of Boo Carter at cornerback.

Cree Thomas, RJ Johnson, Makari Vickers and Preston Ashley have been rotating through at the other cornerback positions. However, a mixture of youthful mistakes and inconsistencies has plagued them. Mojo Williams Jr. is a young cornerback who was expected to have an impact this season, but he hasn’t seen much of the field despite the secondary’s struggles.
