NFL Class Of 2007  

Buffalo Bills Announcement

The Snow College football program has consistently produced players over the years that are able to move onto the 4-year collegiate playing level with many of those players starring for their new school. Some have been able to take their playing days even further than the NCAA as was the case this past weekend when former Badger, C.J. Ah You was selected by the Buffalo Bills during this past weekend’s NFL Draft.

Ah You was a star for the Badgers when he suited up for them in 2004. Ah You was a starter from day one at defensive end for Snow College and he wrecked havoc during his sophomore season. During the 2004 campaign, Ah You posted 41 tackles, 9 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 interception and an incredible 36 quarterback hurries. He garnered All-American and All-Conference recognition and signed with Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma Sooners following the 2004 season.

While at Oklahoma, Ah You made an immediate impact. Starting as a junior and senior, Ah You was recognized as the Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year as well as being selected to numerous All-Bowl Game teams for his performance in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl in which he was named the game’s defensive MVP.

As a senior, Ah You picked up 41 tackles with a team-high 4 sacks as well 8.5 tackles for loss.

“I am very proud of C.J. He was such a special player for us and I am happy for his family. He made a huge commitment to us after transferring from Brigham Young and that it all paid off in the end speaks volumes for the type of person and athlete C.J. is,” said Badger Head Coach, Steve Coburn.

C.J.’s older brother, Jasen Ah You, has served as the Badger defensive line coach since 2004, which marked the year C.J. joined the program as well.

Snow College, founded in 1888, serves approximately 3,000 students at its Ephraim campus. The college provides general education and applied technology programs leading to Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Applied Science and Associate of Pre-Engineering degrees, and certificates of completion in a number of occupational areas.  Once owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Snow College became a state college in 1932.
