Colin is a versatile combo guard that can really bring the fire from three to the tune of 41%. Colin is athletic with strong ball handling abilities that loves to get to his spots but very effective attacking the rim with crafty finishes. Colin has a high IQ that allows him to adapt to different roles on the floor. As a facilitator Colin can drop some nice dimes. Colin also is solid, mixing it up on the boards and is a strong defender.

This past season Colin averaged 15 points per game . Colin has focused on improving his overall athleticism, to be able to guard multiple positions and elevate his defensive game. Defense was a struggle for Colin growing up, but he has seen massive improvements each year thanks to his offseason work. Improving his athleticism also helps him become a better playmaker. Colin has noticed that the quicker he gets, the easier it becomes to beat his defender off the dribble and get his teammates involved.

Colin is proud of last season., never thought he would average 15 points per game and help his team qualify for a higher division as a freshman. This season, the goal is to keep improving. Colin wants to have an even bigger impact on winning. It’s their first year in a higher division, and the goal is to be competitive right out of the gate. They have a lot of new players who can shoot, so Colin wants to step up as a playmaker and help them shine.

Improving every day and looking back at how far he has come is what fuels Colin's fire.

When Colin has an off shooting night,he likes to impact the game in other ways to regain his confidence. Colin hustles for offensive rebounds and scores easy putbacks to get the ball in the hoop. Colin also increases his defensive pressure on the ball handler, which boosts his confidence. These are the little things Colin can control, and they not only help his team win but also help him get back into the flow of the game.

What sets Colin apart is his work ethic and leadership. Colin has always had the drive to improve his game., lining in a gym rat since he was 14, committed to both skill training and weightlifting. Colin wakes up every day at 5 a.m. to work on his game and hits the weight room four times a week. Colin has been consistent with his training for four years and has never missed a practice. What further separates Colin is his commitment to getting his teammates involved.Colin will do anything to encourage them to join him in the gym. During games and practices, Colin is very vocal, ensuring his teammates and he communicate effectively on and off the court.

I assess that this young sniper with strong defense has the ability to certainly thrive on the next level. Colin continues to put in work tio push himself to be better every year with endless hours in the gym and getting stronger to match his on court skills.. Get this young star on the radar as he continues to thrive on the court. Stay tuned to see how well he competes on this new level. Stay tuned.
