Demouy Kennedy says Colorado more technically sound than Alabama
Demouy Kennedy came to Colorado appreciative for a new opportunity with Coach Prime's Buffaloes.
The former Alabama Crimson Tide linebacker was one of the many to migrate to Boulder via the transfer portal. He suffered a season-ending knee injury against Arkansas last year and looks to restructure his career away from Tuscaloosa.
A huge addition for the Buffs roster, as Kennedy was a five-star prospect in 2020's recruiting class. The sky is the limit, and Kennedy still hasn't reached his ceiling. Many believe he's one of the most athletic linebackers in the country and a steal for Colorado.
Kennedy caught up with 'Life and Football' for an exclusive interview. He was asked an array of questions about his time at Alabama, along with what he sees going into the 2023 season. One question that stuck out in particular was when he was asked the difference between how Nick Saban and Deion Sanders deal with workouts.
"I'm not going to lie. CU workouts are crazy," Kennedy noted.
"CU teaches more techniques, like they actually sit there and teach you. They make sure you know the techniques and you're doing it right. That's the difference. But either way, both of them got you working."
This isn't the first time a former Alabama player has gone on the record about Saban's lack of coaching structure. Kennedy's teammate, Jahquez Robinson, who also transferred to Colorado, said he ran into "problems" with the Crimson Tide coaches. It was one of the reasons why he followed Charles Kelly to CU after he left Alabama and took over as the defensive coordinator for Coach Prime.
Kennedy has three years of eligibility remaining at Colorado.
