The James Logan Courier

By Tim Ciardella, Courier Sports Writer

Logan’s big defensive lineman Jamal Colver looks to get the job done this season for the Colts. Colver is in his third year of high school football after playing for the first time as a sophomore.

It took Colver a little bit of time to get used to the game of football, but now in his third year, Colver has come to an understanding of where to be on the field and when. Being the big man in the middle on the defense requires a lot of strength and physical talent, so it sure doesn’t hurt for Jamal being six-foot-five and weighing in at around 275 pounds.

Colver doesn’t argue where the coaches put him or what they tell him to do, “I like playing wherever I’m needed,” he said. Colver is pretty much defined as a team player.

Colver said goals this season are to try his hardest and do his best and concentrate on winning every game. Doing his best must be pretty good considering the six-foot-fiver can run just under a five-second forty yard dash.

For his size, in high school that is amazing. Colver definitely has the talent and the determination to get things done on defense this year for the Colts.
