Kapri Bibbs, one of Colorado State’s most-talked about recruits this season, will enroll at Snow College in Utah, he told The Denver Post late Monday night.
Bibbs, an all-state running back from Illinois, became academically ineligible after his ACT score missed requirements. Bibbs said the ACT board negated his score after he improved too much.
