According to Rivals, Josh Ford was accepted to CU. He will join the team after classes start, so he won't be in fall camp. Expect him to play on the scout team and redshirt this year.
I love the attitude of this guy. I love his speed. I love his leadership skills. I love the Mullen connection.
I'm very excited that he got through CU admissions and will be a Buff. I see him as a guy who eventually earns a scholarship.

While at Barton, Ford began regretting his decision to leave the state of Colorado for college. His new goal was to join the Buffaloes' football program, which his uncle Howard Ballage was a part of in the late '70s.
"I am excited. I worked hard and now I have a second chance," Ford said. "I kind of messed up and didn't have my priorities straight. But this door opened for me so it is like a dream come true."

I think this kid may end up being one of the more important signings in a while. He is all about CU, and is set on trying to convince fellow CO kids to come bring back our program to where it should be.
