Stat Line: 41 Tackles, 10 TFLs, 8.5 Sacks
I was lucky enough to get to watch Colton work during the Eau Claire Big Man Camp. The 2027 DE/Edge has elite length for the position and a frame that is ready and begging for a surplus of weight and muscle to be added onto his frame between this year and in a college weight room. The long and lean DE has the length, first step, and hand use to win with his hand in the dirt. He also flashes the athleticism and range to chase down plays out in the flats. It is an intriguing ball of clay here with the Manitowoc Lincoln standout defender. Keep an eye on the uncommitted 2027 as he tries to top his numbers from last year.

Colton is another athlete who I haven’t seen in person, yet. I hope to change that because the tools and production are enticing. The next level seems to think so too as he has invites to get on campus from the FCS-D3 levels this spring. He also has an elite frame at 6’6″ 215 lbs that perfectly fits the edge where he was able to make 8.5 sacks in 2025. Colton’s tape shows a kid that can use that length to get into the backfield, a very high motor, and a solid first step. Traits that will stand out on the camp circuit as well. I hope to watch this kid work live over the coming month.
