Colorado Offers Bay Area WR Phenom for 2028

Colorado's coaching staff, specifically offensive coordinator Brennan Marion, has extended a rare offer to 2028 wide receiver Kenneth Ward of Pittsburg, California. This offer is notable as the Buffaloes typically do not heavily recruit the Bay Area. Ward, a standout for the CIF North Coast Section champions, displayed his versatility by accumulating 1,214 all-purpose yards and 12 touchdowns last season, with 924 yards coming from receiving.

Marion, who has significant coaching and playing experience in the Bay Area, identified Ward as an ideal candidate for the "zebra" position in his "Go-Go" offense. This role is designed for the team's fastest and most versatile weapon, capable of both receiving and rushing. Ward has also garnered offers from other prominent programs, including Oregon and several ACC schools, highlighting his status as a highly sought-after national recruit.
