New article on Josh Ford is up on Rivals premium.
Since the title is "Hoping to Join the Buffs" you can tell where Josh is leaning.
Ford has applied to CU and if he gets in, plans to walk-on as a running back. He has not been in contact with CU staff yet due to compliance rules. "... And I want to come home."\"I honestly left Colorado to find adventure,\" Ford said. \"But I realized that we need to stay in Colorado because we are winning state championships [at Mullen] and we could be going up to CU helping them back to the top.\"
Love this quote: "If I can get into CU I am going to try to get Adonis and all those other guys at Mullen to come up to CU so we can help get the program back to the top," Ford said. "We need to stay in-state."
my new favorite player if he gets in. Love the attitude. Probably has his own lunch pale and hard hat.










3 cheers for that comment!...I'd be the happiest guy around if we could get half the Mullen senior class up to CU next year!
Way to go Josh!

Here's some good HS video from 2008 on Ford:
I think he's definitely good enough to contribute. Give us a lot on scout team and potentially become a special teams performer and spot position player.
I hope this is the point where Bohn's "full AD support of Dan and the program" kicks in. Josh obviously wants to be and has the passion to be a Buff.
Still wonder with this sort of passion why he went to KjSU in the first place - but WHO CARES?
C'mon Hawk, Bohn, and co. DO WHAT IT TAKES TO GET JOSH TO BOULDER!
Josh, counting down the days until you're a Buff!![]()

"So tell me Ryan, how did you know he would turn to starboard?" - CDR Bart Mancuso, CO USS Dallas
"I didn't. I had a 50-50 chance and I needed a break." - Jack Ryan
Interesting looking highlight reel. One question for those of you who watched him at Mullen. Didnn't see him catching any passes or returning kicks/punts. With his speed and what appears to be good burst did he do any of that in HS. If he can be a returner he may be able to help us right away.










Ford "tagged" Hawkins on Facebook in a picture showing Josh, Adonis & Mario Conte. I hope this is a sign of good things to come with the Mullen guys.
