“Our Recruiting Philosophy”

Our efforts with respect to recruiting are guided by our desire to build a team of dedicated, hard working young men committed to the “Team Concept”.  In addition, we are looking for self-motivated individuals who are driven to succeed in the classroom as well as on the football field.  What Colby offers is a “World Class” educational opportunity as well as a demanding, yet rewarding football experience.  Our players at Colby typify the term, “Student-Athlete” in every sense of the word.

In addition, the quality of one’s character is a critical element of the process for us, as we strive to attract players with a sense of social responsibility who will continue to make Colby football a source of pride to the entire college community.  

Colby football has a rich heritage with a tradition of teams comprised of young men with a passion for the game, a commitment to hard work and a genuine desire to fulfill their potential.

Football is a unique sport that provides us a vehicle to use this great game to instill life-lasting values in the players.  Football at Colby is an extension of the educational process and is regarded as an integral component of a liberal arts education.  The goal is to develop our players to their full potential in every aspect of their lives; academically, athletically and socially.  If you are looking to combine academics with a demanding yet rewarding football experience in a dynamic setting, we invite you to look further into the opportunities available to you at Colby College.
