OLu getting big freshman with Olympic-bloodlines

May 22nd, 2009, 10:45 pm by DAN ALBANO, ocvarsity.com

suttonsmediumOrange Lutheran is receiving a freshman football/basketball player to keep an eye on - which won’t be hard with his size.

Colin Sutton, a 6-foot-5, 245-pound eighth grader, is set to start school at Orange Lutheran in the fall. The 14-year-old is a lineman in football. Colin also is the sister of Olympic swimmer Chloe Sutton of the Mission Viejo Nadadores.

I met Colin for the first time Friday and I can say this: he seems every bit 6-foot-5, 245 pounds. And actually looks like he has the frame to easily add more weight/muscle. He could be a very scary dude in another year or two.

And if he is as competitive as his sister, watch out for Colin Sutton.
