Buffaloes use contacts to draw QB
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — When you have connections like Adam Bledsoe, it tends to lead to informed decisions.
Bledsoe, the younger brother of New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe, has verbally committed to signing a national letter-of-intent on Feb. 7 to play for the Colorado Buffaloes.
The younger Bledsoe said he selected Colorado over Vanderbilt and Washington State — where Drew played — mainly because of Buffs coach Rick Neuheisel.
"He's one of the better quarterback coaches anywhere in the world, at least that's what I hear," Adam Bledsoe said. "I talked to Troy Aikman and Kordell Stewart. They both said he was the best around."
Neuheisel coached Aikman, the
Dallas Cowboys' star quarterback, at UCLA and tutored Stewart last year at Colorado. Stewart now plays several positions, including quarterback, for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 6-foot-5, 210-pound Bledsoe completed 95 of 172 passes for 1,281 yards last season, despite playing in a run-oriented offense at Eisenhower High School in Yakima, Wash.
Bledsoe will find himself low on the depth chart at Colorado next fall. Koy Detmer returns as the projected starter, and junior-to-be John Hessler is the likely backup. Redshirt freshman Jeremy Weisinger, a prized recruit from the 1995 class, also is in the mix.
"I've said all along that I'm not afraid to compete," Bledsoe said. "Obviously at Colorado, there's going to be some great competition."
