Colton Vardell

2018 1st Team All-League, Honorable Mention All-Metro. 2018 Final Stats: 79 Tackles, 18 TFL, 6 Sacks. Colton is a great 2-way player that helped his team capture the North Coast Section Championship. He has excellent size at 6’5 and a frame to add muscle to his 225 pounds. He is long, lean, explosive, and has a high energy motor. He plays with aggression and a determination that all coaches love to see. As a DE, he is a relentless pass rusher that has developed a few moves that allows himto be a standout. He does real well stopping the run on his side of the field. He can strike and shed and get to the football. He has loads of potential because he is by no means a finished product. He has a lot of work to do to get stronger and more polished fundamentally. As a TE, he is a great run blocker that plays with passion and loves to finish. He caught a few passes but is more of an asset in the run game. As a prospect, the sky is the limit because he has the right mind set, physical tools, and a strong work ethic. As he gets stronger and polishes his pass rush moves, look to see Colton as an All-State player picking up a bunch of D1 offers. He is a lock for a Group 5 with potential to move up to a low Power 5.
