He is a great looking athlete with elite leg strength. He hits a big time D1 ball off the ground on field goal. He gets great lift on his ball and easily has 55+ yard range. He is strong on kickoffs, D1 ready. He drives the ball deep with big hang time. Colton also has the size and athleticism to develop as a punter. He shows he can hit a big ball and his consistency is improving. He is a big time competitor that does very well under pressure. I am excited about his future. He is a real sleeper in this class." … also played soccer for the Eagles, earning first-team All-Pac 8 and MVP honors … member of school's Honor Roll and an Advanced Placement student … earned football team's Leiter Award for his leadership and also earned his team's highest GPA … also participated in Young Life Club and played for the Santa Barbara Soccer Club … chose to continue his athletic and academic career at Cal Poly because "it has everything I wanted in a college experience … great education, location and football" … plans to major in business administration and wants to work in international business.
