Buford's Kolton Houston Still Fighting NCAA Ban
In 2010, the National Collegiate Athletic Association deemed the junior offensive lineman ineligible for play because he tested positive for steroids.

An anabolic steroid injection while attending Buford High School has kept the junior offensive lineman riding the bench. Houston has said the steroids were used against his knowledge to speed healing of a shoulder injury.
