HIGH SCHOOL
-Recruiting expert Tom Lemming noted that "Colby proves to be one of the top prospects in Northern Florida. A road grader, he dominates from the left tackle position. Shows good initial quickness, plays the game with good balance and on his feet, he's a good positional blocker, is quick off the snap, and once he gets a hold of his opponent, it's all over. He does a decent job of locating targets downfield and keeps his feet moving well for a 320 pounder. The most dominating OL prospect in Northern Florida"
