Anthony Colson '28 Recruiting Profile

My name is Anthony “RJ” Colson, and I’ve been playing basketball since I was 5 or 6 years old. I started playing because my mom played when she was younger, and watching my uncle compete inspired me to love the game and push myself to be better every day. Basketball has always been a big part of my life and has taught me discipline, leadership, and accountability.

I am an A/B honor student who understands the importance of academics and time management. I enjoy giving back to my community by doing service work with my grandmother and my AAU team, and I also help tutor students at my mom’s tutoring facility to support other kids in their schoolwork. I take pride in being a positive role model on and off the court.

On the court, I am a team-first leader who plays with high energy, passion, and effort. I listen to my coaches, apply feedback, and focus on improving every part of my game. Standing at 6’4”, I am a versatile guard/wing who can play multiple positions. I can handle the ball in transition, attack the basket, rebound, and finish inside, post up when needed, and defend multiple matchups. I take pride in making smart decisions and doing whatever helps my team win.

I am looking for a college program that values player development, strong academics, discipline, and team culture, where I can continue to grow as both a student-athlete and a young man.
