Chandler-Semedo was a third-team All-Big 12 performer in 2021 according to Phil Steele. He was an honorable mention selection by the Big 12 coaches. He made 8.5 tackles per game, which was third in Big 12 and 36th in the nation.

Nate Landman is off to the NFL leaving Quinn Perry as his heir at middle linebacker. Chandler-Semedo’s addition changes the equation. Both players project best as middle linebackers but CU could choose to deploy one of them on as the WILL or SAM backer but their skillsets seem to overlap.
