Austin (Texas) Westlake four-star EDGE Colton Vasek showed Friday night that he is a pass rusher to be reckoned with. Against Dripping Springs (Texas), the Oklahoma commit reached the backfield and made a huge tackle on the ball carrier.

The 6-foot-5.5, 225 pound prospect is the No. 136 overall prospect and No. 21 EDGE in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 26 player in Texas.

On3 rates Vasek higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2023 On300, he is the No. 20 EDGE in the country.

Vasek committed to the Sooners on Aug. 1. He is one of 12 four-star recruits in the Sooners’ 2023 recruiting class, which is No. 6 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 1 in the Big 12

The Lone Star State native has an On3 NIL Valuation of $138K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

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.
