Jerald Colonel is SFA’s defensive wrecking ball in a 6-9 frame
In the 2025-26 season, Jerald Colonel emerged as Stephen F. Austin’s tone-setting frontcourt defender, averaging 5.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game while earning Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors. He’s a long, physical 6-9 senior who protects the rim, cleans the glass, and brings veteran consistency; he was also named a finalist for the Lefty Driesell Award and ranked among the nation’s leaders in blocks. If your team needs a high-motor, defense-first forward who changes shots and anchors a scheme, Colonel is the kind of grown-man fit coaches love.
