Recently featured in <em>Prep Redzone's</em> Mid-Season Interception Leaders, Colbert has established himself as a true turnover machine for Old Mill. Whether he's jumping a route for an interception or forcing a fumble with a savvy strip tackle, his instinct for finding the football is top notch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">But Colbert's impact doesn't stop on defense, he's a complete, three-phase athlete. On special teams, he's a threat to flip the field or find the end zone on any punt return.
