Scouting Report

IOWA · 2025 draft class

Colby is a powerful interior offensive lineman with good play strength and technical refinement. He displays impressive anchor strength in pass protection, holding his ground against bull rushers and redirecting against quickness. In the run game, Colby generates movement at the point of attack, creating lanes with his powerful drive blocking. He shows good awareness of stunts and blitzes, working well in combination with adjacent linemen. Colby demonstrates good hand technique, resetting effectively when defenders attempt to disengage.
