Getting two of the best young cornerbacks in the country to come to Boulder was the first step. Now, the Colorado coaches have to get them ready to play.
“Those guys are young and they’ve got a lot of technique work that they need to work on, but that’s what I’m here for,” CU cornerbacks coach Kevin Mathis said during a press conference last week.
McClain is ranked as the No. 1 cornerback in the class of 2023 and had been committed to Miami before Sanders took the job at CU. He flipped to the Buffs last month and will arrive in Boulder this summer.“We’re probably the only place in America that’s gonna start from the outside-in with our corners, because that’s who is, that’s what we want to build our brand on,” Mathis said. “We want to make sure our guys on the outside are locked down and we’ve got two good ones.
Sanders was an eight-year NFL veteran and two-time Super Bowl champion by the time Mathis joined the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 1997. They played together with the Cowboys for three seasons. “I think like he does so I’m really an extension of him on the field, especially in coaching,” Mathis said. “He taught me the majority of the things that I know at that position.
