Colin Freer brings rare crossover athleticism and depth to Richmond’s defensive line
Colin Freer is more of a developmental, high-upside piece than a proven stat producer right now: Richmond lists him as a senior defensive lineman who saw action in two games in 2024 and recorded one tackle, while ESPN tracks his career defensive stats at the college level.[2][1] What makes him interesting is his unusual background—he arrived at Richmond after being a four-year Princeton lacrosse player and captain, which suggests strong competitiveness, discipline, and movement skills that can translate well to the trenches.[2][4] He looks like a fit for a program that values toughness, coachability, and versatile athletes who can grow into a role.
