Colt Sparks is a young Texas State linebacker with size and upside, but still waiting for his first real production window
In the 2025 season, Colt Sparks was a redshirt freshman linebacker at Texas State (6'3", 236) and did not see game action, so the scouting file is still more projection than production. The appeal is obvious: he has SEC-ish linebacker frame, listed as a defensive-line build on the roster, and a developmental profile that suggests potential for downhill physicality and special-teams value. If you need an immediate stat-sheet star, he is not that yet; if you want a long-term, moldable defender with room to add strength and polish, Sparks is a tidy “bet on traits” option.
