How Colorado's Defense Can Build Liona Lefau's NFL Draft Stock
- Liona Lefau transferred from Texas to Colorado, joining the Buffaloes to bolster their linebacking corps.
- Lefau is viewed as a four-star transfer who helped Texas reach the CFP berth, boosting his draft stock.
- Colorado will benefit from Lefau’s SEC experience against top competition, improving readiness for the NFL.
