Recruitment

With a significant drought at bringing in high-level defensive players, Colson’s commitment ended that on May 24, 2020, when he chose Michigan over hometown Tennessee.

However, the Vols kept making a significant push even after he pledged with the Wolverines. Ole Miss — led by former Michigan assistant Chris Partridge — also made a late push, but Colson remained solid, and ultimately ended up in the class.

Readiness Level

Michigan has tended to not play true freshmen at VIPER, and with Michael Barrett likely returning, he’s likely a year or two away from being a major contributor.
