Colletto

Colletto (6'3/222) came in for the injured Conor Blount (concussion) in this past weekend’s loss to Cal. Blount is doubtful for Saturday, while Jake Luton (ankle) remains a hopeful-but-uncertain proposition for the upcoming contest. So, Colletto. He completed 11-of-20 passes for 104 yards and a pick after coming in for Blount versus the Golden Bears.

Colletto was pressed into action when Conor Blount went down with an injury, and as has been the case when the former Arizona Western quarterback has played, he struggled. The interception was return for a touchdown, with the only good news being that it came when they were down five scores already. Colletto might have to start next Saturday if Blount and Jake Luton can’t go against Colorado.

Colletto commits to the Beavers over finalist Vanderbilt, and also held an offer from Memphis. He was the Gatorade Player Of The Year for the state of Washington in 2016, but didn’t receive big-time offers and instead went to play for two-year power Arizona Western. 247 Sports ranked him the eighth best signal-caller in the junior college ranks. He’ll likely serve as a backup in 2018, but because of the uncertainty at the position, he could get a chance to be the starter in the 2018 season for the Beavers.
