Football player # 24, Kolton Carlson was named Athlete of the Week. Kolton is a sophomore on the Varsity Football Team as he is a wide receiver and defensive end. Kolton was given this title due to him making 5 sacks, scoring 2 touchdowns, making 10 tackles, and getting 100+ offensive yards. Kolton has stated that the only difference he has from other teammates is his positions,¨We all have the same mindset going into each week's game¨ Kolton loves to listen to rap with his teammates and Jack Miles pregame speech to hype him up before a game. His biggest support is his family because they were there for him from day one and they pushed him to be a better athlete. Advice Kolton has for people who want to join football is that they don't rebuild, they reload. Even though Kolton has accomplished many things his biggest achievement is getting athlete of the week. ¨It's a pretty big one¨ Kolton had explained. His favorite quote that he carries and uses in his life is ¨Obsession beats talent every time¨. Good luck Kolton and keep putting in the effort, your career is not over.
