Kentucky Wildcats (2026–Present)
After playing as a safety in the NFL, Colbert transitioned back to the offensive side of the ball, committing to Kentucky out of Fresno City College. [1, 2]

• • 2025 JUCO Season: Rushed for 602 yards and 7 touchdowns on just 81 carries for Fresno City College, averaging a highly explosive 7.4 yards per carry.
  • Eligibility: He brings 3 years of collegiate eligibility to the Wildcats. [1, 2]

What? He played in the NFL, Rhode Island and JUCO and has 3yrs left? I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue.

AI SUMMARY WAS WAY WRONG, LOL. REFRESH PAGE.

The Juco RB seems to be a tall RB, runs with some speed for a bigger back, and probably needs to get his pad level down a bit, as he appears in some clips to enter the line kind of upright.

Positional eligibility. Five years to play at safety. Five years to play at running back. I don't make the rules.

Should we be concerned with Baxter?

Don’t think so. Was talking about it yesterday and Stein used a lot of RBs at Oregon last year. We used three which is basically what everyone’s used to seeing this past decade.

I’d say yes

Like the optimism. Injury history of these guys is of concern. I'll prefer to think more like you than my own opinion

Appreciate the breakdown. With how good our line is going to be, I really want our star back to be able to play. I think CJ could be the difference in a win or two this year if he’s healthy.

 

[TheResistance]

Should we be concerned with Baxter?

I think so. But we are all learning that an Offensive minded HC is likely to stack offensive positions. I am hoping he is just stacking, but with both of our heralded RB's having injury concerns, this is a concern.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Carter was playing RB in the spring. We know our backs have a history of injuries. I think Stein is building depth.

Interesting late add. Makes you think there are at least questions about one or more in that room.

And, or we got a couple of decent backup RB/ST guys on the cheap

They need depth there even if Baxter is healthy all year.

That's a good point that I'm still trying grasp with the increased roster spots/constantly changing rules.

Welcome aboard to both of these guys and let's go!

Hoping a couple of these RBs can catch it out of the backfield and we do utilize them in our passing game.

That is the hope.
