Colorado’s steady snap-and-cover specialist: Trey Young fits the quiet, high-trust role
Trey Young enters the 2026 season as Colorado’s sophomore long snapper after transferring from Saddleback College, where he appeared in 13 games in 2025 and added an assisted tackle on punt coverage. He’s the kind of specialist coaches love: dependable, low-drama, and built for consistency in a hidden-yardage role that can swing games without flashing on the stat sheet. At 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, he brings experience, roster value, and immediate special-teams utility—ideal if you want a reliable piece rather than a headline-grabber.
