In the Two Minute Drill we sat down with Newberg Junior Colin Hyatt to talk to him about his season. The Tigers made some moves this year and seem to in good shape for next season as well. Colin, who is a true speedster, had a major impact this season and that should continue into next season as well. Great Job Colin!

No official contacts | |
ON: How is the Season Going so far for you and the Team? | |
Our offense put enough points on the board to win. But, we lacked a certain aggressive demeanor on defense to finish games. Our run defense has been immaculate, but most of the teams in our league pass the ball a majority of the time. Our secondary, including myself, has some issues that need to be fixed regarding pass coverage. We have a very skilled group of players, but we don’t always work well together.
On a personal note, this year has been a stepping-stone into next season. We run a very unique offense that tries to get the ball to as many skill players as possible. No single player will have large amounts of time with the ball. Although its hard to produce large numbers with this offense, I have had a successful year. Regardless of my personal achievements, its difficult to feel happy about yourself when your team is struggling. Total touches: 73 – Notable kickoff returns: |

What Position(s) are you playing this season? | |
Running Back/Slot Corner |
|
ON: Are you happy with your progress? | |
I have been able to utilize my speed much more efficiently than prior years. I now know full speed all the time will not always play to my advantage. By going slower then faster, or vice versa, helps keep the defense on their heals. | |
On: What is your favorite part of the Football season? | |
The new relationships being built between the team, it’s a great thing to experience. | |
In a year from now what do you want to look back on and remember about this season that is just ahead? | |
That it’s not all about me. As a junior I have personal goals, but ultimately, its about my team around me. If I play for myself, and myself only, the negative results and attitude will be apparent. | |
Name some guys who you have been impressed with on your team? Any surprises or young guys standing out? | |
Tyler Delashmutt and Anthony Adams are two fantastic athletes that both have the mentality and skill to play Division 1 football. | |
ON: Why should a college recruit you when there are so many kids out there? What sets you apart? | |
My speed and vision, along with the longing to get better and the willingness take criticism. |
