Colorado’s versatile, Big 12-honored linebacker turned defensive playmaker
In the 2002 season, Kory Mossoni was a senior defensive chess piece for Colorado, with the Buffaloes noting a smooth transition from outside linebacker to strong safety and All-Big 12 coaches naming him at linebacker. That versatility, plus his 6-3, 225-pound frame, made him the kind of hard-nosed, assignment-sound defender who could help in coverage, set the edge, and create timely disruption — including a key forced fumble cited in Colorado previews. If you want a physical, adaptable linebacker with proven conference-level respect, Mossoni fits the bill.
