- In this video, I take you through my life journey in relation to sports. I start from the earliest age I was put into sports up until the point where I committed to Cornell University. There are so many details and extra information which simply could not fit into one video. However, this video is the best general representation of my recruiting process. My Support system was larger than all the names that I mentioned and those people are greatly appreciated. I would love if you guys could Like, Subscribe, and Comment to show support for more videos !

This is the only 16 minute video i watched without skipping.
I appreciate the love ‼️✊🏾
Bruh fr quality content 👌
Look this might seem random but Jesus loves you and times aren’t good and we need to rely on Jesus to guide us because we see corruption everywhere and so much sin and corruption everywhere. Relationship over religion. Jesus is a prayer away and just because you haven’t had an experience with Him doesn’t mean He’s not real
Yo same 😂
you all prolly dont care but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost the login password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
I actually had the same story you see the major problem is I just didn’t have the cameras on
Got you. Congrats on your process though!
Ima have a story like that by June
Bro this is dude is trolling with a flight reference smh
Aden hooper that's my typa D1 story
Drue Danzy r/whoosh
You always gotta respect those D1 athletes that go to ivy league schools. They're prioritizing academics as a student athlete, emphasis on student, not being an athlete student like Bama and Clemson athletes
I appreciate your support and the respect. I think alot of people miss this perspective. It’s definitely a grind like no other
That was a hella good vid bro. Excellent job.
swatswe20 thank you‼️

@@King_Kolby how did you get in contact with those Ivy League colleges
Love this story. It's very special to see young athletes with strong determination and more importantly, a strong faith in the Lord. Makes me happy to see God working through people with big dreams. Wish you the best in the future!
Thank you! God has blessed me tremendously!
✝️🙏🏽💜💙🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️
Your the truth props for going d1 but not just any school ivy league that legit bro do your thing stay focused
Thanks bro 🙏🏾‼️
Loved how you made this. It’ll definitely inspire other hs athletes, and is similar to what im going through right now just with different sports
Thanks bro!! Good luck to you 💯🙏🏾
I stumbled across your video and was totally impressed with your story and presentation. I had to share this video with my son who has just started the football college recruitment process. I hope he will be inspired with your story.
Thank you for the support! Best of wishes to your son, I hope everything works out for him
Great work again man. You are killing it with these videos. Would've been cool to see you on the basketball court, but looks like you made the right choice. Also important lesson for kids to play multiple sports, and not focus on one as you never know how things will turn out. Keep up the great work, and best of luck this season!
💪🏾
Great video Kolby, you did a great job as the narrator. Your video is inspirational yet it is a reality check for high schoolers who are considering playing at the next level.( I thought your explanations how things change over time gave valuable insight yet you provided examples of adapting) Hope this Covid 19 clears up so I can see you play for the BIG RED this fall. Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Coach Munn 37 seasons 108 HS Teams: Football, Basketball and Track & Field(Shot/Discus)
Thank you!
Sensational. Excellent story. Although I don't know you, I feel a sense of connection. May God continue to bless your journey and and to Him be the glory!
Thank you so much !!!
You gave some very important information about the games and your intentions for your life. I am very proud of you .Keep your head up reach for the stars.And as always put God first.love you auntie diane ❤👍🏈🏈🏈
Love you too❤️
This video is amazing man, I’m going into my junior year and I’m trying so hard to improve my speed and strength to play safety next year and I’m nervous I won’t be able to step up to the challenge. This video is exceptional!
You got this
King back with another banger 🤟🏿🤟🏿
Coollikesal OFG yessirrr💪🏾💪🏾
Watching this as a young buck coach trying to help his small city push the talented kids outward into the next level. This video did more than anyone will give credit to. To show the kids I work with and coach a prime example of the balance between academics and athletics. Congrats on Cornell man! I hope some of the kids I coach will be your teammates.
Thanks for the support!
Great video man. It's great how you took advantage of the Ivy League opportunity. You're definitely making your parents proud. Stay hungry and humble. God bless!
Thank you‼️ and will do✊🏾
Everything you’ve done is incredible. But the real thing that matters, the respect for your parents. Shows ur a real man
Wouldn’t be here without them!
truly inspirational story dawg. i’m gonna be a junior next year and i’ve been considering joining the team, but i’ve never played before and i’m nervous and still undecided
Thanks for the support! & my best advice is to just do it. Its an experience you will remember in your life forever. Bonds will be made that will last lifetimes. Nothing to be afraid of !
wow this is so inspiring, thank u for this vid i really needed it 🤙🏼
No problem, love inspiring others 🤟🏾‼️
I venerate how your older brother created that drive in you to be a better football player, person and adamant towards reaching your goals. This story touched me because I strive to be like that to my younger brother 🤝🖤
You can definitely be that for him! just have to set the way!
Shits hella motivational proud of you❤️

I appreciate your support ‼️
I’m just so shocked at how talented you are! You and your brother play so many different sports, and like I could never.
Thank you !! That;s how it has been since we were 3 years old lol
I go to signal but switching to Baylor for athletics, education, and also more opportunities. So it’s inspiring that someone from the same city worked hard to get a scholarship from a D1 school.
xd Wraxp thats great to hear bro!. You can do it too, just gotta grind it out!
Ivy League education showing in the video. Good stuff bro. Wish I took high school clases serious.
✊🏾‼️
This video was greatttt I didn’t skip one minute
Go Big Red! Good job King Kody.
You are amazing bro keep up the good work 🔥
Thank you ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Hey my name is Tim im about to start football soon but you know that corona is out but anyway you
really inspired me like you taught me to dont give up in the tuff times. My dream is to become a WR or RB and be All American and make it to the NFL , right now im in 7th grade all my life people told me you cant do this or your not good enough and I want to put a silence to that noise by pushing my self even past my limits. Thank you so much you inspired me so much and maybe one day my dream might come true.
You got this my dude!!! Keep pushing, hmu if you need anything.
this video is EXTREMELY inspirational and this off-season is killing me and i miss football season. so much
Thanks for the support bro ‼️ i can’t wait for the season as well ✊🏾
I’m a small boy who is gonna play football again but I’m going into 7th grade and not that strong but hearing your success gives me hope
You got this, keep grinding bro!
Damn that was so good, very motivational and inspirational 💪✊ good luck bro
Thanks bro ✊🏾

great video, love the transparency
Thank you ‼️🙏🏾
Bruh imma vent I’m sorry but we are to similar who took different paths at about the same time. I respect your story, keep grinding and motivating. You remind me of myself so much it’s crazy, I’m just a bit older and if I’m right you probably going read this because we like to analyze things.
I started off as a baseball player too and then picked up basketball and football which honestly is crazy for somebody like us and I’m sure you probably know it. My thing is I realized about 8th grade that I wasn’t tall enough to keep playing basketball so I just played baseball and football.
We both are 5’9 and just like you I didn’t start off my sophomore year playing football but was around the team like I played. Probably just like me you may have thought you wasn’t ready for Varsity football in reality it was perfect for you and you knew you could help the team. My thing is once I went out to see if I could play football my sophomore year the coach didn’t ask the players which most knew I could play he told a friend and I that they didn’t need anymore running backs and cornerbacks which stunned me. This is when I should’ve known to transfer and get up outta there but it was my neighborhood school and financially we wasn’t set so I stayed. Mind you this is probably one of the worst high schools football teams in the city, they did win 4 city basketball championships in a row but not many recruits coming out of the school. This is when things go wrong for me So I played my junior year and senior year but with it being one of the worst schools in the city the Head coach didn’t care as much as my old coaches and I think it trickled down to me which is my fault. It might sound crazy but I was the fastest kid up until 9th grade junior high school. My thing is my whole high school years I probably worked out three times and never ran a 40 yard dash. How can you play running back and cornerback but never run a 40 just crazy. We never recorded our games and had a film session to help us improve so you could imagine the stuff I missed out on. I remember a coach telling me I had a college coach looking at me but with my head coach not really helping I let that slip. Then not having a father figure or someone who been through something similar I didn’t know what to look for or how to apply my skills. This was kind of my fault because I should’ve left the school but I didn’t really know better. I didn’t really find out about what a highlight tape was until my senior year but it was to late because the season was just about over. I was also working from 9th grade which took away from a lot I couldn’t work out on the weekends my team didn’t but I knew I could get stronger and better but I had to work every weekend. I know you a good teacher and listener so if you ask me I would tell a kid not to work or find a job that really works with you if not find a different way. I was making a little money to help out me and my fam which I thought I was cool but in reality I was stuck in a place I shouldn’t be relying on that job. I think I would’ve been better struggling for a little bit more to have a better opportunity to get a college scholarship or just finish college. My bad for the book but I wanted to give you a background story on me and if youtube was as big as it is now and I seen your videos it would have definitely impacted me in a good way. I say all this to say keep grinding, motivating and giving a good blueprint. I’m sure you helped a few and willing to help more. Keep replying to comments because some kids don’t have no one to help them out with stuff like this and don’t know what to look for. Don’t forget about us and the youth when you get big. Keep grinding my bad for the book again lol.
Lol all good, I respect your story ✊🏾💯 thanks for the support bro and i will !!!
I play the same position as you and not gone lie right now I’m inspired
Love to hear this bro!!
You motivate me because I’m small tryna get offers but the size is throwing it off
I can relate 1000%. You gotta focus on what you can control and keep grinding!
good stuff man you’re my inspiration, I live in a small town port chester New York, I work as hard as I can, I’m a freshman 5’10 150Ibs finished my jv season with 21 touchdowns, as like you playing football basketball and baseball. It’s like you’re an older me but you’re more successful, I’m scared of what the future holds because big schools won’t even look at small towns like port chester, if you could reach out to some coaches, that’d mean the world to me and my family. I have a Hudl account @Colin Taylor keep up the good work man 🙏🏾blessings. Stay safe
You have to let them know you're hungry man and you can show the.m colleges that you have something. Going to a small college might also be an option D-2 and D-3 schools are often still worth attending. Don't give up in yourself.
Yeah bro, it will probably be best if you get with your coaches and reach out to colleges that way. They are going to want to hear from you , especially if they are recruiting you !
Ik im late but this a good video bro. Motivated me to do better 💯
Thanks bro! Good luck to you 💯
Amazing bro thanks for this vid. Could you please drop the workout that you got from your brother? The ones you said you did everyday at 5am.
Excellent Video Brother !!
Matthew Gibson thanks bro!
I Kind of had the same story but I was hurt which made me change sports. Freshman year I was the QB on JV but I fractured my lower back the first game, sophomore year I only played defense(OLB) I averaged 10 tackles a game. I was all county and 1 selection off All-State, junior year I transferred schools I was playing Both sides of the ball and the 3rd game I torn my meniscus, and senior year year I only played RB, I’m 6,5 so I was basically unstoppable but the 5th game I torn a thumb ligament that pull my thumb off my hand. I lost the 2 football scholarships I had so I decided to play basketball again I got all county,all league, Top 100 NY player in basketball so I decided to go Juco, I made the team the first year of college and then the second year I got cut cause I was “too small”. I decided to play football game I reached out to 2 college coaches at Wagner College and Long Island University and now I have 2 opportunities to play college football ✅ Football always been my calling and it feels great being back 💪🏾
www.hudl.com/video/3/5227066/59e51766478d3609c017fb8b these are my senior year highlights!
Thats great bro ‼️🙏🏾 love to see it

“I know that my momma proud of me”🙏🏿❤️
Congrats man.this story was amazing!!!
Thanks for the support ‼️🙏🏾
What more impressive is that you’re in a Ivy League school! How many ppl can say they go to an Ivy League school? That’s more impressive than any D1 offer. Great job. Football is gonna give you a top education ppl could only dream of
Thank you for the support! And that was my goal !
Don’t know how you popped up on my CZcams, but I’m definitely subscribing now.
Man you made some inspiring and truly wise decisions at such a young age. And good choice with Cornell!
Thank you for the support ‼️🙏🏾
That video was so inspiring
🙏🏾
i just learned how to gain massive weight and muscle by watching strongmen and bodybuilders. Plan ahead when you work out and when you eat, i eat every two hours with meals at least 500 to 700 calories breakfast 7 o'clock snack or regular meal 10 o'clock lunch 12 o'clock workout 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock recovery drink or supplements and dinner at 4. all these meals need to be at least 700 calories. b4 my workout i would drink whey protein powder or after i would drink milk. dont stuff milk into your body every once and a while because it isn't good for your insides as you might pass gas. try to lay down and be as steal as possible because if you dont you are burning what you just ate especially if you have high metabolism. i was 147 to 155 during wrestling season playing defensive end in football but i was strong fast and built. now i am 175 planning to hit 180 this started back in February or march ever since this corona stuff. Please take my advice
Love this video
Thank you for the support !!!!
Video is fire
Thank you ‼️🙏🏾
Banger
🔥💪🏾
Sweet video bro🙏🏼💪🏼👍🏼
Thanks bro!
King Kolby No problem man🙏🏼
This vid fire 🔥
🔥🔥
I'm a freshman and I played football this year I was douting I would get to college with a recruitment but you inspired me thank you
No problem ! U got this
King Kolby holy crap I'm shaking that you responded
King Kolby on the real side do you have any tips I play safety and running back but not starting running back you got any tips for workouts or just anything in genral
For the most part, try to get a personal trainer that can help you
King Kolby thank you bro keep up the grind like I said I am going to keep grinding and hopefully make it to the big leagues thx again it means alot
Question: first off, I want to apologize for seeing this video so late. I just recently found your channel and have fallen in love! I want to ask, I know this is not in your expertise, but I play soccer, and want to play in college. Would you recommend that I get a personal trainer?
Yes! only if you are serious & you have to make sure that your personal trainer is is legit enough to know what they are doing
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wait what? That was not 16 minutes! That is the longest video I have watched without skipping
Thanks for the support!
Love this vid but can you talk about your grades. Because you got into an ivy league school
Thank you ! And DM me on IG!
@@King_Kolby done👍reply
Nice Video. Do you remember what the minimum GPA you had to have was for Cornell? For instance, would a 3.5 GPA qualify?
It was all weighted based on your GPA to ACT/SAT score. So it really depends, there is like 4 diff categories and if you have a high GPA with a medium score it could balance out or vice versa.
I just got my first baseball offer and I don’t really know what to expect after that
Congrats!!! Many more to come! Just keep ballin and perfecting your craft
King Kolby appreciate that sm bro!
Look this might seem random but Jesus loves you and times aren’t good and we need to rely on Jesus to guide us because we see corruption everywhere and so much sin and corruption everywhere. Relationship over religion. Jesus is a prayer away and just because you haven’t had an experience with Him doesn’t mean He’s not real
Great story.
Preach 💜🤟🏿
✊🏾‼️
I’m a rising sophomore and I really want to make the varsity team this year instead of jv and my build is similar to how yours used to be I’m 5’10 158 u have any advice or tips I could use?
Check out my other 2 videos on tips to get recruited and im also releasing a video on how to gain weight tomorrow!
Hoping to go to Cornell for soccer
You got this bro
I’m a sophomore in high school and do to COVID restrictions, I can’t join. I really love football and I’m very athletic, I really do not know what my options are, if sports are open during junior year I’m going to join, but as of now I guess I’ll look for camps or something or maybe teams outside of high school. Any tips?
Get in the weight room and watch training videos to do on your own before you join! That way u can be fully prepared to play right away
I have the same story next year i'm switching back to football for my sophomore year
Yessir, let’s gooo!!!
Man i have a dream to be a football player im 10 running backand this .ade me want to play 10x more
Love this! Keep the dream alive and ever give up
I play football and play DB and never thought to study NFL an CFL DBs
Yeah, it will help dramatically. And study nfl players that are closer to your size and potential. (For example: i study brent grimes instead of jalen ramsey)
What were your test scores to get into Cornell? I am junior right now and getting a couple fcs and Ivy League looks and I really like what Ivy League provides from the educational and football standpoint, I’m just nervous I don’t meet the scores.
Dm me
On ig
can yu share sum drills for me I’m a freshman and I want to improve
I will!
How much should I weigh to play cornerback in high school and any tips on how to gain weight quickly
Im going to make a video on this soon!
Do yu have any tips on how to get noticed or get recruited or receive an offer ?
Focus on being the best on your high school team first. Once you do that, get with your coach and figure out what colleges are interested. Lastly, go to camps and unofficial visits to schools which are INTERESTED in you. A lot of people miss this step by going to Alabama camps or Georgia camps. If those schools are not Interested, its pointless to go.
Very good video 👍🏼
Thank you 👍
Good vid💯
Thanks bro 💯✊🏾
Dope vid
Preciate it ✊🏾
Bro did you gain a scholarship or how did you handle the financial stuff that an ivy league college brings up
They explain all that stuff to you when they offer
What’s your training regiment I want it 🥺
I will make a video on this !

Lmaoooo, “played track.”

Gabriel Rivas I already accepted Jesus as my savior, and repented of my sins. I’m am active in my church, I know my purpose is to know God and to make him known...
elias fresquez You don’t play track, you can go to ivy and still be illiterate.

How big of a factor were test scores when being recruited as an athlete to an Ivy League school?
They definitely play a major role!
I am a freshman going into my sophomore year and right nowI have a 3.5 GPA I weight in at 115 and hight is 5,3 and i am quick and fast I played some varsity snaps at corner and reciver and I was starting on JV I just wanna know do you have to contact collage coches or do they come to you and what is your advice on gaining weight Thankyou
Sometimes they come to you first and when they are not, then you have to take it in your hands to contact them first. Im going to make a vid on gaining weight soon! Stay tuned
@@King_Kolby Appreciate it
Did your brother play football for the Dalton Catamounts
Yes he did
U have inspired me
Glad i could help!
How was your grades cause I’m worried about that I’m not the smartest lol but I’ve been working my ass of in the gym and the field...
I had a 3.9 GPA and 26 ACT
Did you reach out to colleges or did they come to you? And how important is the 40 yard in recruiting
They reached out to me and 40 was important but not the main factor
You need to reach out to coaches tho via twitter
If your good they come to you
elias fresquez that’s not true. They don’t have the time to find kids
@@jared7809 they found me
