BOULDER – Mekhi Blackmon, a cornerback from the College of San Mateo in California, signed a financial aid agreement with Colorado on Monday, head coach Mike MacIntyre announced.
Blackmon, a 6-0, 160-pounder originally from East Palo Alto, Calif. and Menlo-Atherton High School, will join the team in late July and be with the Buffs for fall camp in August. He will enroll at CU with four years to play three in eligibility, MacIntyre said.
"Mekhi is a long, athletic corner that can play press coverage and do all the things that we look for in our cornerbacks here at Colorado," MacIntyre said.
