Colgate’s Physical, Versatile Back with Proven Big-Play Bursts
Maldonado is a sturdy 5'11", 210-pound junior RB who has grown into a versatile Colgate weapon, showing steady year-over-year production as both a runner and receiver. In the 2024 season, he totaled 379 rushing yards on 93 carries with 2 rushing TDs and added 112 receiving yards on 19 catches, while Colgate’s roster notes say he led the team in carries and ranked second in rushing yards. His best trait is functional toughness with enough pass-game value to stay on the field in multiple situations; the main question is whether he can consistently turn workload into higher efficiency, not whether he can help a room.
