Amontrae Bradford Statesboro (Ga.) On300 EDGE Amontrae Bradford has committed to Colorado and Texas A&M. Georgia Tech, Indiana and Vanderbilt hosted him on official visits, but with the Buffaloes and Aggies, he felt he had a chance to win a championship. He visited Boulder last month and it wasn’t until after that that he knew where he wanted to go.
On Monday morning, Bradford made it official by announcing Deion Sanders and the Boulder program. “It came down to Colorado and Texas A&M and I committed to Colorado and made my decision about two weeks ago.
This atmosphere is different. When I was in Boulder on my official visit, it was like nothing I had ever seen. The fans were great and that’s the atmosphere I want to play in.
Bradford is excited to play for Coach Prime The 6-foot-5, 230-pounder was in Boulder when the Buffaloes hosted Nebraska. The excitement about the program, as well as how the players respond to Sanders and his staff, is what keeps him coming to Colorado.
“Coach Prime is different,” he said. – He is a great coach and fatherly mentor that I never had. He is one of the best ever. Coach Prime is doing great things in Colorado. This is where I want to be and I’m going to a main program. He has shocked people this year, but there is more to come. The next two years we are in SC play..Coach Prime is building something there and he is a coach that makes me feel safe and at home.
I’m excited to play for him.” you might like it too Defensive line coach Nick Williams also led his recruitment, and Bradford likes the opportunity to play for him and play early in Boulder.
“He’s just a guy who’s hard not to like,” he added. “Coach Williams is young, he’s got a lot of energy and he’s a guy I want to play with…I like the way he recruits me, I like his personality and he’s easy to talk to.” Now he’s focused on recruiting his cousin and Statesboro High teammate Kam Mikell, who visited him in September.
We talked a lot about playing football together in college,” Bradford said, “and now I want him in Colorado.”
