Coaches comments: Colton is our most dedicated football player. his biggest attribute is his football iq. he is also calm and clutch. Colton can sit in a pocket, throw to his right and left on the run, can scramble for extra yards and make off-balance throws. During the last two state playoff runs he has had to make several 3rd and 4th and long throws late in the game for comeback wins. Colton has also become an excellent leader who takes pride in his work. we look forward to his 2026 individual and team season.
