This incoming junior is not a huge DT by any means, but he is strong and fast. His ability to shed blockers and get through the line quick is an asset for any defensive line. He’s poised for another big year.
Central Columbia head coach EJ Smith says “Kole Hummer was voted as a team captain during his Sophomore season and he led District 4 in sacks as sophomore. Kole is an excellent defensive lineman, he has great quickness and feet. With a great offseason, we expect Kole to have a dominating Junior season”.
