The path to continue in athletics after high school is one with many twists and turns, but also full of dead ends. Coconino running back Fernando Ramirez found an unconventional route to keep playing football. The 1,000-yard rusher from this past season is set to start his collegiate career in a brand-new place.

Ramirez is signed to play for the Salt River Scorpions, a college team that is part of the Hohokam Junior College Athletic Conference. He will attend Phoenix College while playing in the Valley, as the school will work with the HJCAC for the first time this upcoming season. Copy article link
