Colorado makes a jump in Condon's recruitment

Oklahoma City (Okla.) Bishop McGuinness offensive tackle Owen Condon is a highly sought after prospect in the class of 2018. Standing at 6-foot-7, 270-pounds, it's easy to see why colleges want him so bad on their team.

"It's been going really well," Condon said of his recruiting process. "It's a blessing to know that I have 20+ places that I can go play college football at. Not a lot of people get the opportunity to do that, and it's awesome to know that people believe in me enough to pay for me to go to school and play football there."

Condon's most recent offer came this past friday from the Colorado Buffaloes. He received the offer from defensive coordinator DJ Eliot.

"Their coach who recruits the Oklahoma City area, coach Eliot, came and watched us practice on Friday," Condon said. "He let my coach know that I needed to give him a call later that night, so I called [Eliot], and he said that I looked really good at practice. He said that he doesn't know why they hadn't offered me yet. He thinks I'd fit in well with their system and wants me to visit this summer."
