But just because Davis was ready for the challenge doesn\u2019t mean it was easy to say goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne thing about me and J-Phil, we have a really good relationship,\u201d Davis said. \u201cWe actually called ourselves the dynamic duo. Because every time we\u2019re together, great things happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A CU staff member since head coach Deion Sanders\u2019 first season in Boulder in 2023, Davis worked two seasons alongside Phillips coaching the Buffs\u2019 receivers before Phillips\u2019 retirement last month. While the move seemed sudden from the outside, within the staff it was known that Phillips\u2019 departure was in the works. Already having ascended to a more hands-on role from his initial hiring in 2023 as a graduate assistant, Davis was ready for the next step. Even at the cost of breaking up the dynamic duo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it happened, I was prepared for it,\u201d Davis said. \u201cThis is something I\u2019ve been preparing for for a long time. I was overwhelmed with emotion, but knew I had to get right to work. This is the highest I\u2019ve ever been in my career, but this is the lowest that you\u2019ll ever see me. Every time I step in this building, I go by a motto that I use every day \u2014 I\u2019d rather see you at the top than from the top. And that\u2019s just where I\u2019m at right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis assumes the top leadership role for a group of receivers long on talent but which also will be tasked with taking full advantage of what may be more sporadic opportunities with Julian Lewis leading offensive coordinator Brennan Marion\u2019s run-heavy Go-Go offense. Marion confirmed Thursday that Lewis is expected to start when the Buffs kick off the 2026 season at Georgia Tech on Sept. 3 (6 p.m. MT, ESPN).<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=4252\">Peter Cullen, prolific voice actor who gave Optimus Prime his authoritative baritone, has died<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Collectively, the receivers haven\u2019t been at full strength from the spring through the preseason due to an array of injuries, but the group is expected to be near full strength, or all the way there, when the Buffs hit the field in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A possible breakout star in Boulder is Texas transfer DeAndre Moore Jr., who ranked second for the Longhorns last year in receptions (38) and receiving yards (532) while scoring four touchdowns. The same can be said of Danny Scudero, who was a second team Associated Press All-American last year at San Jose State after recording 88 receptions for 1,297 yards and 10 touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>If injuries continue to be a problem, CU should have the receiver depth to cover the losses. Kam Perry put together a breakout season last year at Miami (Ohio), finishing with 43 receptions for 976 yards \u2014 an impressive average of 22.7 per catch \u2014 and six touchdowns. Hykeem Williams has the potential to unlock the sheer athleticism that once made him a prized five-star recruit at Florida State. Ernest Campbell followed Marion to Boulder after leading Sacramento State in receiving last year. Quentin Gibson has flashed big-play potential in the return game, and Joseph Williams returns after ranking second for the Buffs last year in receptions (37), receiving yards (489) and receiving touchdowns (four).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like we\u2019ve all bought into one mind, one mission,\u201d Joseph Williams said. \u201cAny time we see someone slacking off, falling behind, we\u2019re going to hold him accountable. Because we all got one goal in mind. We all want to get to that Big 12 championship and then make a run in the playoffs. So we all go to hold each other accountable if we want to do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just different. You walk into the building, everybody\u2019s dappin\u2019 each other up, everybody\u2019s smiling. It\u2019s just great energy around here right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=4250\">Trump signs order renaming Lake Ontario as \u2018Lake America\u2019 in the United States<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assistant Rashad Davis stepped in to lead Colorado&#8217;s wide receivers after Jason Phillips&#8217; abrupt departure, but coaching shift hasn&#8217;t diminished the expectations of a deep receivers group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
