Experienced Lafayette DB with special-teams grit and steady all-around value
Colin Thorne brings veteran versatility to Lafayette’s secondary, with a career arc that shows he’s been trusted on defense and special teams rather than just buried on a depth chart. In the 2019 season, he played in all 12 games and made 15 tackles with 0.5 tackles for loss, and earlier seasons show he could show up in big moments with multiple-tackle games and a pass breakup. The appealing part? He fits the “reliable, physical, team-first” DB mold—smart enough to rotate in, tough enough to stick, and willing to do the unglamorous work that coaches love.
