[@BBBoy990]

I actually thought it started with that bad concussion he suffered against San Diego State in 2007. He was literally knocked out, by a helmet-to helmet hit that would be a illegal today. We didn't have concussion protocol back them, and he only missed one game, we knew little about CTE 14 years ago. I think the automobile accident just hastened his downward spiral. Should have tested the brain for CTE.

I met Colt during my (and his) first tryout year at Saddleback. I didn't know his story then but appreciated the way he carried himself when I met him. He had a broken arm during spring practice but he was out there training nonetheless. He wanted to make an impact and truly did by setting that example. I never knew about the baggage he brought with him there but which is why I assume he was always out there proving himself with the team even with his injury at the time... Little did I know a couple years later he would be a flat out legend of my home state football team. #15 Forever! Thanks for making this video...

People assume Colt was your run of the mill chronic. His addiction started after his near fatal automobile accident on the Big Island, Hawaii. He became addicted to opioids and painkillers he used to battle numerous injuries and brain trauma he sustained. It really changed who he was physically and mentally. Unfortunately, he was never able to excocise those demons. A recent autopsy done on Colt's brain confirmed that he also had a advanced case of CTE. RIP Bruddah Colt !!!
