Coleton Thomasson '27 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Coleton Thomasson. I am 6'1" and 210 pounds, and I am 16 years old. I play left tackle at Chester Senior High School in South Carolina. I am currently a rising 11th grader and a starter for the Varsity Football Team at Chester High School (Go Cyclones!). I have an uncle who played for Georgia and another who played for Clemson. I am looking to follow in their footsteps and pursue playing college football while continuing my education. I enjoy the leadership and team-building aspects of football, as well as the competitiveness of the sport itself.

I love to play football; it is my favorite sport, and I have played since I was 5 years old. I am a hard-working player, and I am usually one of the first people to arrive at practice (30 minutes early). When given a task or goal to complete, I don't give up. I am very competitive and dedicated to my team. I would love to play on a college football team because it will allow me to continue playing the sport I love while pursuing my education and career goals. It has been my dream since I was a little boy to play college football and be on a college field one day. I have played defensive tackle, offensive guard, and center; however, my main position is offensive tackle.

Outside of football, I go to the field in my spare time to get some extra work in and work out at the gym. I also regularly attend college camps, including those at Clemson and USC. I love to hang out with my friends and family and help my dad grill on the weekends. I understand that grades come first as a student-athlete. I am doing well in school and always keep up with my work because I know that is most important.
