Colorado Buffaloes Football: Vic So’oto ready to bring violence to the defensive line

Colorado Buffaloes defensive line coach Vic So’oto is ready to bring the violence back to the defensive line. He is excited to bring back the smash mouth and have no mercy defense back into the heart of the herd. This unstoppable attitude is just the kind of coaching head coach Karl Dorrell was looking forward to when So’oto was hired on.
So’oto is a former linebacker himself out of BYU and was signed undrafted by the Green Bay Packers in 2011. During his tenure in the NFL, he went through several teams before finishing it up with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2014.

After interning at BYU after his career in the NFL he went on to be a graduate assistant coach in Virginia then promoted a defensive line coach where he stayed for two seasons. In 2020 So’oto went back home to California becoming the defensive line coach at USC for a season before the Buffs head coach liked what he saw in So’oto and wanted him for Colorado.

Everybody knows defensive lines win championships. So’oto spoke briefly on what he expects from his line and what the line is going to produce for Colorado. It’s a take no prisoners mentality. He wants his defensive line to be built on a violent and physical nature, and have nothing but a violent mindset. He knows for success that line has to be that way for everything else to fall into place.

The Buffs fans around social media are a little worried for wins to come because they have heard the same rhetoric before from new coaches that come in and don’t produce the things they’ve said they would. With all these new hires and changes in head coach Dorrell’s system the Buffs have nowhere to look but up.
