KU football lands in-state commitment

Kansas University’s football team landed a 2007 commitment from another in-state athlete, Haven High’s Isiah Barfield.

Barfield, about 6-foot, 175 pounds, likely will be a wide receiver or defensive back at Kansas, though he’s quarterback of his high school team. He sparkled at KU’s camps earlier this summer, prompting the heavy interest.

“I’m just focusing on lifting weights and my senior year,” Barfield told rivals.com. “Now that I have committed somewhere, I don’t have to worry about the recruiting stuff and impressing other coaches. I can turn to my focusing on my senior year and playing football.”

KU has five known commitments, four coming from Kansas. The other three in-state commitments all come from Free State High – Ryan Murphy, Brian Murphy and Christian Ballard.
