BuffsCountry continues the project of creating the entire 2020-21 Colorado Buffaloes with the latest installment, free safeties.

Free safety is interesting for multiple reasons. They do not have specified strong or free and the safeties move around a lot. They also don't have very many safeties.

BuffsCountry predicts two designated cornerbacks will move over to the safety position. For this creation, it is assumed Christian Gonzales and Dylan Thomas will move over to the free safety position.
