Colin Spear '22 Recruiting Profile

When I was 6 years old, my Mom brought me to the world series parade for the San Francisco Giants.  I knew that day I wanted to play in the MLB.  I love other sports, but baseball is where I feel at home.  I not only have the dream of playing college baseball, but I am willing to put in the work to make it the MLB.  

I played football freshman year and loved it.  I was playing every minute of every game, defense, offense, and special teams.  With 2 minutes left in one of the last games of the season,  a fumble landed right below me.  I got sideswiped and it broke my distal femur and injured my ACL and MCL.  I have worked extremely hard to get back to normal.   I gained 40lbs during recovery and rehab.  I not only lost the weight that I gained but have become much stronger and faster.  I am working every day to become the best version of myself.  My knee is completely healed and I am excited to show everyone what I can do.  

I don't give up when things get hard.  I have dyslexia in school and had a major knee injury.  I watch other kids and how easy things come to them.  I have to work harder than all of them.  I have seen what it takes to come from behind.  I know it takes the extra mile.  One of my favorite quotes from Deuteronomy 31:6 " Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you".  I live by this on a daily basis.   I know I wouldn't be as strong as I am today, if the injury didn't happen.  I will do whatever it takes to win.  this is what I can offer to your program.
