Yarbrough one of few Colorado players on Wyoming roster

[Yabadabadoo]

If the state of college football in Colorado had been in a good place, Eddie Yarbrough might have been able to follow his heart. Instead, he did the best he could.

The standout defensive end for Wyoming admitted he could have been a Ram or even a Buff had either house had things in order. But as he was exiting Grandview High School in Aurora, so was Dan Hawkins at Colorado. The rumors were pretty strong Steve Fairchild would be exiting Fort Collins in short order, too.

So Yarbrough crossed both schools off his list. Despite holding offers from Vanderbilt and Kansas State, he followed his heart and headed north to Laramie.

"One of the few"? The story mentions there are a total of 19 players on the Cowboys roster from Colorado. Would anyone consider that 'a few'?

Headline was one of few on MWC rosters. Reading the article, it's not that big of a stretch, especially outside of UW and CSU.

Good catch, Josh, and I obviously flubbed that one, thanks for the correction & clarification.

Actually I believe he committed to Arizona State, but on signing day Arizona State had overcommitted and jerked the scholarship. Marty English, the Wyoming DC at the time, had kept in touch with Eddie and told him if anything ever happened Wyoming would have a spot for him. After Erickson left Eddie without a scholarship, he contacted English and Cowboys welcome the young man to Laramie.

How about TR? At Coors Field, no doubt watching Jon Gray's big league debut...with the Pokes never far from his mind!
