Kyle Messina is a versatile Colgate playmaker with return-game juice
In the 2025 season, Kyle Messina quickly carved out a role for Colgate by handling kickoff returns, averaging 22.22 yards on 9 returns for 200 yards with a long of 31, and he has the kind of 6'1", 195-pound build that suggests real two-way utility at defensive back and in space. He looks like a high-motor, physical newcomer who can help flip field position and add depth in the secondary, which makes him a good fit for a program that values toughness, versatility, and hidden-yardage impact.
