As a College Recruit

Productive, polished 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 with 32.5-inch arms. Natural pass rusher with a wide array of pass rush moves. Burst and get off are solid coming off the line of scrimmage. 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. Took over the state title game as a junior with multiple sacks of five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold. Turned in a very strong senior season with 14 sacks and 21 tackles for loss. High floor prospect who will be a significant role player at the next level and has a chance to become a draft pick if he can add quality mass to his frame and maintain his athleticism. Threw nearly 50 feet in the shot put and just over 160 feet in the discus as a junior. Father, Brian Vasek, played along the defensive line for the University of Texas from 1991 to 1995.

Colton Vasek's technical acuity with his quick hands and array of pass rush moves reminds us of Trey Hendrickson. Vasek is a little taller than Hendrickson and is a more touted high school prospect.

Colton Vasek off to hot start as a senior

Charles Power

Colton Vasek continued his hot start to the season with another strong outing in Austin Westlake’s rivalry game win over Lake Travis. The 6-foot-5.5, 225-pounder flashed his highly polished pass rushing skill set and a relentless effort level, finishing the game with nine solo tackles and two sacks. Vasek has an advanced array of pass rush moves and quick hands. The Oklahoma pledge fought through double teams, showed a quick spin move and made some dogged plays in pursuit. Vasek has six sacks through four games.
