Colby Holbrook '26 Recruiting Profile

Football has always been a huge part of my life. I remember being a kid, watching games with my family, and knowing I wanted to be part of that. From the first time I stepped on the field, I knew it was something I was meant to do. Over the years, football has taught me a lot about discipline, teamwork, and pushing through tough situations. It’s more than just a sport,it’s shaped the way I approach challenges in life.

What I’ve learned about myself through football is that I’m capable of handling way more than I thought. I’ve been through games where everything seemed to go wrong, but it’s those moments that taught me to keep going and get better. I’ve also learned how to be a good teammate, not just in helping out on the field, but also supporting the people around me when things get tough.

Balancing school and sports hasn’t always been easy, but it’s made me more organized and focused on what matters. I’ve had to manage my time carefully, and I’m always looking for ways to improve. School is important to me, and I’m working to make sure I’m setting myself up for success in the future, no matter what path I end up taking.

There have definitely been obstacles along the way, whether it was dealing with tough losses or managing everything going on in my life. But those challenges have helped me grow stronger and more determined to keep moving forward. I’ve learned how to deal with setbacks and not let them define me.

I think what makes me stand out is my ability to push through tough moments and keep my focus on the bigger picture. Whether I’m pushing myself in practice or helping out my teammates, I try to bring my best every time. I know these experiences will help me succeed, not just in football, but in whatever I choose to do next.
