Colorado Lands Commitment from IMG Academy WR Christian Ward
IMG Academy wide receiver Christian Ward announced his commitment to Colorado on Wednesday during a live broadcast on Rivals’ YouTube page.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Ward chose to join head coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes over offers from Arizona State, Michigan, and Alabama.
“Coach Prime played a big role in my decision, but I also love the coaches, the atmosphere, and the team,” Ward said.
Ward becomes the 13th commit in Colorado’s 2026 recruiting class. He developed close relationships with staff members such as Rashad Davis and Jason Phillips during his time in Boulder.
“I spoke with Coach Prime and the coaching staff a lot,” Ward explained. “It wasn’t an easy decision, but I wanted that push. I feel like being pushed by Coach Prime will help me get to the next level.”
Ward visited Colorado officially during their win over Delaware.
“What stood out to me was the way they treated my family,” Ward said. “All the coaches and staff were very welcoming, and I felt a strong connection with them. I really liked the receiver coaches and how they challenge their players. It’s a different level of coaching with a lot of experience.”
Ward believes Colorado is the best place for his development. “I want to be pushed by the best, and I feel that’s what I’ll get at Colorado. It’s the right choice for me and my future.”
