National Signing Day 2016: Ronnie Blackmon is a Colorado Bufflo!

The agile corner from Georgia, Ronnie Blackmon, is now a part of the Buff family. An electrifying player, Blackmon was recruited by Charles Clark and surprised Buff fans by committing this summer and has stuck with them ever since. A generous 5'10, Blackmon is a special athlete who is in the mix to return punts and kicks immediately and should be in play in the defensive backfield soon enough. He has great hips, with an uncanny ability to change direction, and is a special athlete with the ball in his hands. Blackmon played in the East-West Bowl, and he had two interceptions in that high school all-star game.
