About Colton
Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Colton mans one of the off-ball OLB positions for SP West and projects to the next level as more of a hybrid S/LB. The 6′ 185 lbs athlete’s best tape is when he is asked to play in space. That is where Colton can lean on his strengths. Awareness to read the QB or his player assignment. Agility and quick acceleration to be able to change direction in time to be able to close and make plays on the ball in the air. Colton also does a great job of tackling 1 on 1 in the open field. HIs overall athleticism has also given his DC the choice to blitz him off the edge where he has proven he can go from the slot and still make the chase down sack. With his skillset I think we could see Colton put together a successful summer camp circuit heading into his senior season.

I love the mentality that Colton plays with at off ball OLB for SP West. He is full go, all out every snap it seems like. His blend of athleticism and strength allow him the ability to make plays against the run game and the passing attack. He is so slippery through traffic and is so agile and swift while in coverage. Colton’s ability to change direction is a major strength of his too. He brings so much athleticism to the position, but also checks the box when it comes to tackling and tenacity. Tap into his highlights below.
