It was offensive line day at Colorado football fall camp with all three offensive line coaches and two players talking to the media after Monday's practice.Lead offensive line coach Gunnar White discussed how all five starting jobs are up for grabs and how he is toying with the idea of an o-line rotation. Assistant offensive line coach Andre Gurode brought up the center competition, one of the biggest position battles across the roster."The competition is very steep," Gurode said. "It's very aggressive. You've got to prove it every single day."The center position might have seemed like Demetrius Hunter's job to lose, but all three coaches repeatedly said that it is a competition between Hunter, Yahya Attia and Sean Kinney.Colorado OL coach Andre Gurode on the Center competition:"The competition Is very steep.

We want to see more," Hegamin said on the center competition. "We want to see someone take that role. We want to make sure whoever that guy is, they own it. We do believe weve got that guy in the room but its time for that guy to show up and stay up."Based on everything said Monday morning, Hunter and Kinney seem to be neck and neck in the competition. Both players transferred into Colorado this offseason with extensive experience at the position.Kinney started all 12 games last year at center for Lafayette, allowing zero sacks. Hunter was in a similar position with Houston, starting the entire season at center, allowing just two sacks the past two years.With the center playing such an important role in Brennan Marion's offense, expect the battle to continue until a true standout emerges. While other positions may rotate throughout the year, I would expect the center to remain a constant, barring injuries or significant underperformance.Follow Charlie StrellaonX,ThreadsandInstagram.Contact/Follow us@BuffaloesWireon X (formerly Twitter) and like our page onFacebookfor ongoing coverage ofColoradonews, notes and opinions.This article originally appeared on Buffaloes Wire: Colorado football's center competition heating up during fall camp
