Draivyn Colvin brings size, speed, and two-way toughness to Illinois State
In the 2026 season, freshman linebacker Draivyn Colvin has already logged action for Illinois State, including 2 total tackles through the early slate, and the buzz around him starts with traits, not just box-score noise[2][15]. At 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, he pairs a linebacker frame with verified high-school explosiveness—he was a four-year starter, team captain, and a 10.9-second 100-meter sprinter—so he looks built for chase speed, physicality, and upside[1][11][13]. If a defense wants a high-motor athlete who can grow into more snaps, he’s a pretty intriguing fit[1][11].
