Grandview RB Obinnah commits to CSU for football

Chukwuma Obinnah, a standout running back for Grandview last season, announced on Twitter Sunday that he has committed to play football at Colorado State.

Obinnah, 6-foot-1 and 218 pounds, rushed for 1,590 yards and 20 touchdowns last season in helping the Wolves reach the Class 5A semifinals.

Afterward, he was named first-team all-state in Class 5A.

That followed his junior season of 1,123 yards and 11 rushing touchdowns.

He is the fourth known local recruit to pledge to CSU this cycle, following Rocky Mountain lineman Salofi Gaoa, Bear Creek athlete Olabisi Johnson and Rangeview lineman Richard King.
