Colt Lyerla has a brutal family history of drugs and dysfunction. He was involved with drugs before entering college. He had a very unstable childhood and like I said before, an extensive family drug history. I hope he has turned his life around.
Colt Lyerla's college career had a lot in common with Travis Kelce's college career. Very athletic tight end who was great on the field, but got suspended for drug usage and was difficult for coaches to deal with. But Kelce went to a great situation where he was drafted by the Chiefs and had Andy Reid take him under his wing, while Lyerla never got out of trouble
@@Fribbzz To your point, I hope people realize that Weed is a None Addictive plant. While Meth and Coke are Chemist created addiction Pharmaceuticals. Big difference when dealing with the Psychological problems from the use!
@@Fribbzzyou took the words outta my mouth. A kid can smoke some weed and turn it around, however with meth and coke the probability of turning it around decrease exponentially
@@brandonhinrichs4393naw, fentanyl doesn’t do that. Those are meth sores, from picking @ his face. Meth addicts will go look @ their face in the mirror while tweaking, and try to pop black heads out of their face and they don’t stop until they become open sores. Even then, they don’t stop because they try picking the scabs off, once those sores scab over.
Roids and meth are what happened to him. He probably took the catalytic converters from the coaches cars after practice. What's ironic is they do not arrest people for drugs in Oregon now.
Laws weren’t working so the war was lost I moved from Hawaii to Oregon 3 years ago and I’ve seen DRASTIC change!

The story is honestly inspirational. You could tell by the mugshot sequence of how bad things were. Good for Colt for turning it around. Never too late. What an athletic freak!

NAGA is a Jiu Jitsu competition, which tells me, as someone who LOVES Jiu Jitsu ever since discovering it in 2006 in the military, and an Ambassador for We Defy Foundation, which is an organization that actually helps to push veterans toward Jiu-Jitsu, as it has been proven to be not only a martial art, but Therapy as well, Lyerla has turned to Jiu Jitsu for his athletic peace, and it is giving him a new life. NAGA is one of the popular associations that holds competitions year in and year out. I have competed in NAGA a couple of times myself, placing 3rd in one of them in 2009. There are other leagues and organizations within the sport/art, with IBJJF and ADCC being one of the more prestigious, NAGA is pretty open to all level of competitors and brings on good competition for all. I was honestly worried in how this story would end for him, but seeing that, even if most don’t understand Jiu Jitsu, those who really are in it do understand the values it can bring, IF you want it too. I’m happy to hear this for him and I hope his path continues to get better.
@@nakmuay7705 I love to hear that! And I want to say…. I love my Muay Thai as well. I started learning the same time after I started learning BJJ, and already with a wrestling background, I took it all in. While deployed in Iraq, is where I met Doug, who is my now close friend, and Muay Thai coach, as his background is Muay Thai and boxing. We kind of did a trade off. He saw what I learned, and said it sucked, and I opened his eyes to Jiu Jitsu/Grappling. I can proudly say, with him being a veteran as well now, he really took in to it, and has picked up learning Jiu Jitsu, not to mention he is a black belt now and operates 2 Gracie Barra academy’s out in Southern California, in which his life long dream was to run his own martial arts gym. He just never thought it would be in this direction. He too pushes in his classes to help with depression, and huge with his kids classes to teach anti-bullying.
@@nakmuay7705 I love to hear that. It really does do wonders for people who really need some kind of change. It’s more than just grappling.

I too, also have a huge love and respect for Muay Thai. My base background is wrestling, but I started in Tae Kwon Do first in Martial Arts. I started learning Muay Thai the same time I started learning Jiu Jitsu while in the Navy. During my deployment to Iraq, is where I met my true Muay Thai coach, and now very close friend Doug.

The most valuable words told to me by my father are "The human body is a sensitive chemical machine." And his point was that, if not careful, I could mess up my body chemistry, pretty easily with seemingly harmless things like cigarettes (vaping is way worse), caffeinated coffee (natural insecticide), artificial sweetener (for un - alive-ing rodents), Coca Cola / Pepsi (phosphoric acid is really rust remover), and peanut butter (causes me more acne than shown in this video). Once I learned the harmless stuff is not totally harmless, it was intuitive not to touch the hard stuff.
@@johnreilly8672 For the following two reasons, it takes half as many years to be debilitated from vaping, as opposed to cigarette smoking: 1. Unlike vape smokers, there are no nickel, tin, and aluminum deposits in cigarette smoker's lungs. 3. U inhale a higher concentration of nicotine when u vape, compared to smoking a cigarette. Coping with more powerful withdrawal symptoms causes u to do it more often than a cigarette smoker.
I understand that you don’t understand and I respect that, truly. Having been 10 years clean from a dilaudid addiction , when you’re body and brain is prone to the addictive euphoria from those things, it can get out of control quickly to where rational, non addicted people can’t understand but I can unfortunately relate with this behavior. Praying for this young man’s recovery and I appreciate your perspective as well. Hope you have a great weekend too !
He was an Oregon great so much wasted potential as an Oregon alum and former player we love you colt!! Now DO ONE ON MY BROTHA CLIFF HARRIS!! You gotta!! Appreciate the work you do Matt but I been bothering you about this one for a while lol CLIFF WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LIL BRO !!
Matt...You say you can't feel bad for a person like Colt who had all the potential he had. But, what this tells me is you simply haven't lived long enough or matured enough to understand that people turn to drugs for all types of reasons, and those reasons are one's that the user doesn't understand, hence why they turned to drugs. Are you lucky enough to have never had a friend or loved one turn to drugs? Or, do you just abandon them? Maybe you can never emphasize but hopefully you'll learn to sympathize. Obviously, something big happened in this young man's life to turn him upside down and we all can hope he turns it back around. Just remember, while your tenets may remain the same, your maturity won't be the same now as they were 10 years ago and they won't be the same in 10 more years to come. All the best
Can't feel sorry is accurate. If you fail into bad stuff you need to straighten up and you need to make it up to the people around you,... Not the other way. Stop be weak and enabling liberal minded.
@@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied just because he mistakenly used a word with a comparable meaning doesn’t mean he’s intentionally being patronizing. He’s not doing it as a grandstand for superiority, rather because it’s a personal matter of subject in his life. If you take the amount of time you did to dissect every word someone says, it can be easy to find flaw. Sounds to me like you just like being one of those “well actually” kinda people. Do better, be happier.
@@gilt8121 easy to tell people what you think you would do in a situation you’re completely ignorant of. Not all people who’ve suffered from substance abuse are bad people. I would say the vast majority absolutely is, but there’s plenty who hurt nobody but theirselves.
As a 50+ year old the amount of people (including celebrities/athletes) who's lives have been either ended or altered by drug use is absolutely insane!
This happens so much.. High school athletes get so much given to them in some schools and families. This type of athlete was given everything. and it still was not enough.
Matt, your favorite Husker fan here, you know I gave you crap for calling young men playing football Anywhere TRASH!I But I think your a talented guy. These Where are they Now videos are freaking Awesome. This may be your calling, even at a higher level, Great work!
The way the coach reacted sounded like he had a drug problem while he was still on the team. It reminded me of how Texas Tech coaches responded about a player named Ronnie Daniels around that same time. Turns out he had a heavy drug problem and the coaches didn't want to just blast it out there. I'm glad to see Colt is doing better. The guy was a freak in college.
He's a perfect example of why we shouldn't be so hard on people who turn to drugs...things happen...and then maybe one day you turn it around, like he did. Hospitals now employ people who have done what he did. They work as counselors. Look at Ryan Leaf. Scrip addiction and prison to counseling center supervisor. They don't need judgement, they just need help.
Was in highschool across town when Colt was at Hill High- I’d get home on Friday nights from football games to watch the local “Friday night lights” program on channel 12 to see how Colt did that night. He was different. When he committed to Oregon I was so excited to watch him play on Saturdays. When he got left behind for the Colorado game I was confused but then everything started coming out. It’s a shame. He was seriously a beast. He could have been a monster in the nfl.
I remember the first game that Chip Kelly decided to release the Colt it was amazing. They put him in the backfield and was destroying defenders with and without the ball. After that game we thought we had just discovered the Heisman. But after that game he really did t do that much other than get In trouble with the law.
I live in Eugene Or and have a buddy that was in rehab with Colt a while back. He’s a frequent visitor. But every morning they take everyone to the YMCA. And even after years and years of doing hard drugs, Lyerla was throwing down 360 between the legs dunks in pick up basketball games. Just an absolute athletic freak. Could also jump out of the pool in 5 ft of water. And as far the escape goes, he jumped up and grabbed the ledge on an 11ft window, pulled himself up, and jumped out lol
I’ve been a police officer for 14 years. Those mug shots are a big clue, along with the forgery charge. He was likely hooked on pain killers. Forging a prescription trying to get more pills!
@@Michael-or2cn nope. I’m a pretty good cop. Actually, an expert. See, I’m a DRE - Drug Recognition Expert, which means I’ve been trained and tested to a level where I’m allowed to give my opinion in court as to what drug or drugs someone is under the influence of. Face sores are commonly a sign of meth use, but that is because up to about 15 years ago, that was the most popular and prevalent drug nation wide. In reality, face sores are a sign of really poor hygiene and picking, which is common with hardcore opiate addicts. The fact that he A) played a contact sport where injuries and painkillers are common, B) Was arrested for forgery (usually of prescription), and C) was arrested for heroin, a derivative of opiates, possession leads me to believe, logically, that he was likely addicted to opioid pain killers.
Have you done Onterrio Smith yet? Growing up outside Sacramento always heard about him. Went to Grant high with donte stallworth. 3000 yards 60 tds senior year. Also caught witht the "whizzinator" while on the Vikings.
Aye I'm from his hood del paso heights I grew up in sac and loved Ontario I looked up to him we went to different highschool I went to natomas ..but he kept coming back to the hood buying people escalades and smoking weed ..he was the hood legend who couldn't stay out the hood...and Stallworth had a big family..sac town baby
Did you say draw a plan to go to Mexico? For just a 6 month sentence! Lol, this guy needed his fix asap. Just started watching your videos. You give details and make it more entertaining! Good job
To give folks an idea of what a freak athlete this kid was, there was a video posted back in his high school days of him standing in a pool waistish deep in the water, and he jumps and lands with both feet on the pool deck. Absolutely insane. And the fact that he was still able to do it now as seen with the one in this video is bonkers.
Always great stuff… Malik Zaire former ND QB… highly touted left hander elite8 MVP… Had some bad luck… broke ankle and coach BK kinda hosed him…… Was a good kid with after football success story…
Should of went to USC, staying in Oregon was his worst mistake he could of made. Being around his friends and family there was no way for him to succeed. He wanted to go to USC, Chip Said he take care of him.
So, I went to Colts rival school and i was a year behind him. There were definitely rumors of his activities even back then. Absolutely amazing talent and to watch. Saw him probably 8 months ago working out and he looked good, so hoping all is well with him. Now for the jail, the rehab part is a super small part of it. The jails literally just on the other side of the main building and it’s definitely not relaxed security wise.
For years… I’ve been trying to figure out who that really good Jimmy Graham build TE that used to play for Oregon but was troubled.. you’ve found him for me
When the coach said “circumstances” he also stated he just needs to go home and GET SOME REST. That should say it all. He probably was coming to practice half ass wrecked.
wow i remember this guy as a Green bay packer fan..brought him into camp and there was hype on him..never made it through into preseason got hurt and cut
There was this guy, Sanchez, with the NE Patriots, who ended up going to prison on murder charges, then ended up dead, from self-inflicted fatal wounds.
13:25 it’s a minimum security jail. They put nonviolent criminals in there people that commit forgery and things like that like this guy did, and for people who only have a short amount of time. They figure would not be stupid enough to run away and catch more charges cuz ur time there is short. This story is sad but it’s very common.m, it’s just highlighted because he lost a potential NFL job. But drugs have destroyed the American generation of this age. Those same drugs took away the potential of millions of other Americans that would have done great things for our country and people. Don’t get it twisted this was planned and an act of war declared on the American people. The weapon they used was 100000000000 times more effective than an atomic bomb because this bio weapon didn’t just kill everyone in one area it’s targeted and destroyed millions of military age men and women. This is bigger than this man. This is the biggest crime in human history and u can find the people by name who did it and made billions of dollars off the backs of our suffering. I hope this young man finds peace and realizes what was done to him and his generation was an act of war.
That said I remeber when I was addicted to heroin I had to do only 3 months in jail but the withdrawals were so bad 1 hour felt like 3 years. I at the time thought of ways to escape and would even dream about it. I never tried but I can understand his logic in the moment. He wanted drugs right then and there and he would have traded anything for them. That’s how strong of a hold they have on you. It is a weapon used to destroy the middle and working class white Americans so when they invade and replace us we can’t and won’t fight back. Our own government is our biggest enemy
Hey Matt, think you could do a video on Bryan Pata? Saw a little bit about his story on the U part 2 30 for 30 years ago but they didn’t go into that much detail. He was killed by his own teammate and no one found out until 15 years after the fact
Grappling is kind of a mix between wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu. Looks like he's trying to get into MMA as well. Unfortunately, drugs can really become a downward spiral, but great to see he's doing well now.
Do one on Vfastv Locust from Vian Oklahoma. Who in 2005 rushed for over 2600 yards and 57 TD's that season,and broke all the records.Ran a 4.3 40.Possibly the greatest Oklahoma High school RB off all time
In college he was hammered and broke into a women’s home down the street from where I lived. I had friends that went to high school with him and everyone said he was a major douche bag. Ego for days.
My man’s ultimate downfall was: Not understanding lengths of TIME🤦♂️🤯 1 game suspension? I quit!!!! 6 months in a rec center not doing drugs? No choice but to try to escape!!!🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ #drugsrbad
You must be religious. I say that because you seem to think drug addiction is simply a choice ( good vs bad). That's NOT how it works. You might have busted a line and forgot it about the next day, but some people.. it triggers something in their mind. The only difference between him and you is that his brain works different from yours, and that's not simply a choice. I wish him the best.
6:00 yes he was in trouble. Colt was "held out" aka ghost suspended for first couple of games his senior year at Hillsboro. He didn't go to fall camp! He decided to stay in Hawaii that summer and do drugs. He's always been into drug's, even in hs. They weren't kicking him off of his hs team for nothing though.
Hi Matt as I lions fan when everything plays out with the Cam Sutton case can you do a story on him. The lions just released him and last I heard he is still on the run from the police.

He’s not doing it as a grandstand for superiority, rather because it’s a personal matter of subject in his life. If you take the amount of time you did to dissect every word someone says, it can be easy to find flaw. Sounds to me like you just like being one of those “well actually” kinda people. Do better, be happier.
@@gilt8121 easy to tell people what you think you would do in a situation you’re completely ignorant of. Not all people who’ve suffered from substance abuse are bad people. I would say the vast majority absolutely is, but there’s plenty who hurt nobody but theirselves.
As a 50+ year old the amount of people (including celebrities/athletes) who's lives have been either ended or altered by drug use is absolutely insane!
This happens so much.. High school athletes get so much given to them in some schools and families. This type of athlete was given everything. and it still was not enough.
Redemption can be found for everyone, and it is a beautiful thing.
Good for this guy for turning his life around!!
Matt, your favorite Husker fan here, you know I gave you crap for calling young men playing football Anywhere TRASH!I But I think your a talented guy. These Where are they Now videos are freaking Awesome. This may be your calling, even at a higher level, Great work!
Matt u should do these type of videos about basketball players too
The way the coach reacted sounded like he had a drug problem while he was still on the team. It reminded me of how Texas Tech coaches responded about a player named Ronnie Daniels around that same time. Turns out he had a heavy drug problem and the coaches didn't want to just blast it out there. I'm glad to see Colt is doing better. The guy was a freak in college.
I'm wishing this brother well. Life is a marathon. Be well.
He's a perfect example of why we shouldn't be so hard on people who turn to drugs...things happen...and then maybe one day you turn it around, like he did. Hospitals now employ people who have done what he did. They work as counselors. Look at Ryan Leaf. Scrip addiction and prison to counseling center supervisor. They don't need judgement, they just need help.
This kid was so physically gifted. He was a drug fool. So sad.
I’m digging these.. I’m a day one btw. Let’s go Matt!
Way to go Colt turning your shit around!
Was in highschool across town when Colt was at Hill High- I’d get home on Friday nights from football games to watch the local “Friday night lights” program on channel 12 to see how Colt did that night. He was different. When he committed to Oregon I was so excited to watch him play on Saturdays.
When he got left behind for the Colorado game I was confused but then everything started coming out. It’s a shame. He was seriously a beast. He could have been a monster in the nfl.
I'm glad to see he. turned his life around.😊😊😊😊😊 keep up the good work
Wish him luck... Glad to hear anyone can heal. God bless
Glad to see this turned around for him…Make mistakes, but learn from them, get up and keep moving…No regrets!
Couldn’t click on this one fast enough. Love my Ducks and I’ve always wondered what the end story was on him
How you can love the ducks is beyond me. Thug central.
@@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied
🦆 The best
You gotta do Darryl Washington AZ Cardinals LB. This gonna be a great story.
Do one on cliff harris from Oregon that’s another good one
Love the accent love the swag you bring to dease RUclips Streets great content
Lol...tell me you are a corny whiteboy without saying you're a corny whiteboy
I remember the first game that Chip Kelly decided to release the Colt it was amazing. They put him in the backfield and was destroying defenders with and without the ball. After that game we thought we had just discovered the Heisman. But after that game he really did t do that much other than get In trouble with the law.
I live in Eugene Or and have a buddy that was in rehab with Colt a while back. He’s a frequent visitor. But every morning they take everyone to the YMCA. And even after years and years of doing hard drugs, Lyerla was throwing down 360 between the legs dunks in pick up basketball games. Just an absolute athletic freak. Could also jump out of the pool in 5 ft of water.
And as far the escape goes, he jumped up and grabbed the ledge on an 11ft window, pulled himself up, and jumped out lol
I’ve been a police officer for 14 years. Those mug shots are a big clue, along with the forgery charge. He was likely hooked on pain killers. Forging a prescription trying to get more pills!
Pain killers really? You must be a awful cop any normal person knows that's all meth
@@Michael-or2cn nope. I’m a pretty good cop. Actually, an expert. See, I’m a DRE - Drug Recognition Expert, which means I’ve been trained and tested to a level where I’m allowed to give my opinion in court as to what drug or drugs someone is under the influence of. Face sores are commonly a sign of meth use, but that is because up to about 15 years ago, that was the most popular and prevalent drug nation wide. In reality, face sores are a sign of really poor hygiene and picking, which is common with hardcore opiate addicts. The fact that he A) played a contact sport where injuries and painkillers are common, B) Was arrested for forgery (usually of prescription), and C) was arrested for heroin, a derivative of opiates, possession leads me to believe, logically, that he was likely addicted to opioid pain killers.
@@Michael-or2cnI was on fentanyl pills and they made me break out like that so it happens to some people but yeah meth does that a lot too
Have you done Onterrio Smith yet? Growing up outside Sacramento always heard about him. Went to Grant high with donte stallworth. 3000 yards 60 tds senior year. Also caught witht the "whizzinator" while on the Vikings.
Aye I'm from his hood del paso heights I grew up in sac and loved Ontario I looked up to him we went to different highschool I went to natomas ..but he kept coming back to the hood buying people escalades and smoking weed ..he was the hood legend who couldn't stay out the hood...and Stallworth had a big family..sac town baby
Did you say draw a plan to go to Mexico?
For just a 6 month sentence!
Lol, this guy needed his fix asap.
Just started watching your videos. You give details and make it more entertaining! Good job
Do a video on Cliff Harris Oregon! 2010 season he has 6 ints a pick six and 4 punt return tds!
To give folks an idea of what a freak athlete this kid was, there was a video posted back in his high school days of him standing in a pool waistish deep in the water, and he jumps and lands with both feet on the pool deck. Absolutely insane. And the fact that he was still able to do it now as seen with the one in this video is bonkers.
Always great stuff…
Malik Zaire former ND QB… highly touted left hander elite8 MVP…
Had some bad luck… broke ankle and coach BK kinda hosed him……
Was a good kid with after football success story…
He was on coke the whole time in college and drank every night. He wasn't sick, he was hungover.
Should of went to USC, staying in Oregon was his worst mistake he could of made. Being around his friends and family there was no way for him to succeed. He wanted to go to USC, Chip Said he take care of him.
So, I went to Colts rival school and i was a year behind him. There were definitely rumors of his activities even back then. Absolutely amazing talent and to watch.
Saw him probably 8 months ago working out and he looked good, so hoping all is well with him.
Now for the jail, the rehab part is a super small part of it. The jails literally just on the other side of the main building and it’s definitely not relaxed security wise.
Forgot about him. I remember he was stuggling with some off the field stuff but had a lot of talent. Pray that he sees the light
Matt- how about doing a story on CSU legend QB Bradlee Van Belt, son of NY Giants LB Brad Van Pelt and his helmet spike TD.
That m3th got to him from the look of his mug shot
Dam praying for this young man 🙏🏿
For years… I’ve been trying to figure out who that really good Jimmy Graham build TE that used to play for Oregon but was troubled.. you’ve found him for me
This is what happens when you legalize drugs you get put in prison anyway.
He was a beast of an athlete. It is painful to watch him throw all his talent away in favor of drugs.
Good to see he’s seemed to turn the corner. Addiction is a beast
Bane, he was an INSANE athlete. Could have been a great. But could not stop with the nose candy
We need a video on former LSU QB Jordan Jefferson💯
Make a Tyler sash video, it’ll be sad but his story deserves to be told
In Hillsboro they toss opioids in the collection plate at church.
When the coach said “circumstances” he also stated he just needs to go home and GET SOME REST. That should say it all. He probably was coming to practice half ass wrecked.
I have met Colt on the mats, and he was a good dude and a great training partner. He's going to be a Savage!!!
Have you done Michael Penix? I mean to go from lightly recruited to a No. 8 pick.
wow i remember this guy as a Green bay packer fan..brought him into camp and there was hype on him..never made it through into preseason got hurt and cut
Definition of an athlete is someone that can play all sports well.
There was this guy, Sanchez, with the NE Patriots, who ended up going to prison on murder charges, then ended up dead, from self-inflicted fatal wounds.
I hope you mean Aaron Hernandez. If not, this is a weirdly common problem for the Pats.
I was excited to see him go pro.
I think he would have had some Pro-Bowl appearances.
Love your content! Thanks.
Him being a monster at jits was the last thing i was expecting
Colt Brennan from Hawaii went down the same road and died from fentanyl. Heisman finalist 2007.Two wasted talents named Colt. What are the odds?
He was different- hate to see wasted potential
One of the biggest failures out of the state of Oregon. And Oregon doesnt have a lot of guys like this.
His eyes are too close together 👀 🤣🤣🤣
Would be interesting to hear from his parents and what they went through
13:25 it’s a minimum security jail. They put nonviolent criminals in there people that commit forgery and things like that like this guy did, and for people who only have a short amount of time. They figure would not be stupid enough to run away and catch more charges cuz ur time there is short. This story is sad but it’s very common.m, it’s just highlighted because he lost a potential NFL job. But drugs have destroyed the American generation of this age. Those same drugs took away the potential of millions of other Americans that would have done great things for our country and people. Don’t get it twisted this was planned and an act of war declared on the American people. The weapon they used was 100000000000 times more effective than an atomic bomb because this bio weapon didn’t just kill everyone in one area it’s targeted and destroyed millions of military age men and women. This is bigger than this man. This is the biggest crime in human history and u can find the people by name who did it and made billions of dollars off the backs of our suffering. I hope this young man finds peace and realizes what was done to him and his generation was an act of war.
That said I remeber when I was addicted to heroin I had to do only 3 months in jail but the withdrawals were so bad 1 hour felt like 3 years. I at the time thought of ways to escape and would even dream about it. I never tried but I can understand his logic in the moment. He wanted drugs right then and there and he would have traded anything for them. That’s how strong of a hold they have on you. It is a weapon used to destroy the middle and working class white Americans so when they invade and replace us we can’t and won’t fight back. Our own government is our biggest enemy
Hey Matt, think you could do a video on Bryan Pata? Saw a little bit about his story on the U part 2 30 for 30 years ago but they didn’t go into that much detail. He was killed by his own teammate and no one found out until 15 years after the fact
He was in the drug unit aka minimum security wing for people that will be leaving soon so like a holding unit which is why it sounded so easy 😂
Exactly ppl think he busted out the county or something 😂😂
Do one on Sam McGuffie.
Unfortunately what makes a lot of good football players good football players Is the same thing that leads them to trouble off the field.
He was caught Sniffing Camel Dandruff 🐫 a very expensive Colombian Agricultural Product...
Naga is a jiu-jitsu/grappling competition, no strikes allowed. Just an FYI for those who don’t know.
colts big into ju jitsu now... dudes a absolute freak of a athlete and has always been.
Would love to see him and Putin go at it.
@@jpmnkylike to see Zelensky suck a golf ball through a straw
Grappling is kind of a mix between wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu. Looks like he's trying to get into MMA as well. Unfortunately, drugs can really become a downward spiral, but great to see he's doing well now.
The power needed to jump out the pool 🤯🫠
Do one on Vfastv Locust from Vian Oklahoma. Who in 2005 rushed for over 2600 yards and 57 TD's that season,and broke all the records.Ran a 4.3 40.Possibly the greatest Oklahoma High school RB off all time
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard
In college he was hammered and broke into a women’s home down the street from where I lived. I had friends that went to high school with him and everyone said he was a major douche bag. Ego for days.
My man’s ultimate downfall was: Not understanding lengths of TIME🤦♂️🤯
1 game suspension? I quit!!!!
6 months in a rec center not doing drugs? No choice but to try to escape!!!🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ #drugsrbad
You must be religious. I say that because you seem to think drug addiction is simply a choice ( good vs bad). That's NOT how it works. You might have busted a line and forgot it about the next day, but some people.. it triggers something in their mind. The only difference between him and you is that his brain works different from yours, and that's not simply a choice. I wish him the best.
Tony Farmer(basketball), Brandon Austin(basketball), Adam Muema(football), Soso Jamabo(football)
I was a few years younger than this guy in hs he had the whole state shook to play them 😂
6:00 yes he was in trouble. Colt was "held out" aka ghost suspended for first couple of games his senior year at Hillsboro. He didn't go to fall camp! He decided to stay in Hawaii that summer and do drugs. He's always been into drug's, even in hs. They weren't kicking him off of his hs team for nothing though.
Hi Matt as I lions fan when everything plays out with the Cam Sutton case can you do a story on him. The lions just released him and last I heard he is still on the run from the police.
