Rice-bound TE Colten Cole brings size and production to Sulphur’s passing game
Colten Cole is a 2026 tight end from Sulphur (OK) who is already signed with Rice and profiles as a polished, catch-ready target at 6-3, 225. In the 2025-26 season, he posted 19 receptions for 306 yards, averaging 16.1 yards per catch, which points to a vertical-threat tight end rather than just an in-line blocker. His appeal is the combination of size, receiving efficiency, and projectable fit in a college passing offense; for Rice, he looks like a developmental TE who can create mismatches and contribute early in the red zone.[2][6]
