One enjoyable visit to Colorado Christian was enough to make Chris Helbig believe that's where he belonged for the next four years of his life.

Yet, it was a lifetime of dreams that eventually pulled him in another direction.

Over the weekend, the Holy Family High School senior announced that instead of playing basketball at Colorado Christian, he will attempt to make it as a football player at Colorado.

"I guess that's what my heart wanted the whole time," said Helbig, who is planning to join the Buffaloes as a walk-on quarterback this fall.
