Idaho State Safety with Mission-Tested Grit and Special Teams Spark
Colton Belnap, a freshman defensive back/safety for the Idaho State Bengals from Pocatello, Idaho, brings unique maturity as a returned Mormon missionary from Monterrey, Mexico—entering college at age 28 in 2017 per reports—translating to veteran intensity on the field. In 2018, he appeared in four games with eight tackles (season-high four vs. Western State) while shining on kick teams; his 2017 special teams role highlights reliability. A local product with FCS hustle, Belnap's differentiator is his disciplined, high-motor play—perfect fit for teams needing tough, versatile depth in the secondary without the freshman jitters.
