Colton Vasek On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Colton Vasek:
“Productive pass rusher for perennial Texas powerhouse program Austin Westlake. Helped lead his team to a state championship by tallying 56 tackles and 10 sacks during his junior campaign. Stands in at a filled out 6-foot-5, 225 pounds. Possesses average length for an edge rusher despite his height. Strong at the point of attack. Does an excellent job using his hands to stack and shed in the run game. Much more power than you would think for his size.
