Colton Vasek on top schools

Oregon

“Really love the development aspect of the program. Coach Lanning and Coach Lupoi have both experienced winning national championships at very high levels and also have a lot of experience coaching the edge position specifically. I also have great relationships with the entire staff in general. I’m constantly in touch with Coach Lanning, Coach Lupoi, and Coach Powledge. I feel like they’re not only great coaches, but great people. The area of Oregon was also super cool and I already feel like I have a good connection with a lot of the players.”

Oklahoma

“Coach Venables is a defensive minded guy who has had experience winning national championships. I really like the style of defense they run, and have great relationships with pretty much the entire staff– Coach Chavis and Coach Venables especially. I also like the aspect of how they are gonna develop you not only as a player but as a person too.”

Clemson

“Definitely loved my time up at Clemson. It definitely seemed like a special place. Clemson had a “family feel” that was like no other. Obviously, Clemson has won many national championships and I love the way they develop their players on and off the field. I have good relationships with Coach Ski and Coach Goodwin and I’m constantly in contact with them.”

Texas

“Obviously having the option to stay home is huge, I grew up a Texas fan and really enjoyed seeing the way the program has changed throughout the years. I have great relationships with Coach Kwiatkowski and Coach Milwee. Texas has also developed many players over the years which is something that definitely sticks out.”

Texas Tech

“I really love what Coach McGuire has going on over there. I believe he’s going to build a championship tier program. Tech is another school that has a “family feel” and they care about you not only as a player but as a person. I really enjoy talking with Coach Fitch and Coach Ah-You as well as the rest of the coaches on the staff.”
