Colvin signs to play soccer with Huntington University

Submitted

Micah Colvin, Hamilton Heights senior, has signed a letter of intent to play soccer for Huntington University in Huntington, Indiana this fall. Huntington University is a member of the Crossroads League and a NAIA athletic institution. He is the son of Hannah and Drew Colvin.

Colvin, who helped lead the Hamilton Heights boys soccer team to its first Hoosier Conference championship game this season, was excited to learn of the opportunity to play for the Forrester’s in the fall. “Coach Lawson cared a lot about me from the moment I contacted him and sent him my film,” recalled Colvin, who has dreamed about playing college soccer since the second grade. “Before even talking about committing or scholarships, he was helping me develop into a better player.” Colvin plans to pursue a degree in Marketing to ultimately work for a professional sports organization.

Soccer has been my main sport for as far back as I can remember,” noted Colvin, who plays club soccer and trains during the offseason to be at his best for each soccer season. He credits his family, specifically, his parents, coaches, and best friends/teammates for their support, encouragement and influence in his journey to be a solid player and take his game to the next level.

“Micah has been a huge offensive contributor to the boys’ soccer program as a striker, especially the past two years.  He had several ‘hat tricks’ throughout his high school career and his scoring prowess helped lead us to the championship game of the Hoosier Conference tournament this year and enabled us to compete with the teams in arguably the toughest 2A sectional in the state. We will certainly miss his offensive firepower next year.  We wish him the best at Huntington University,” said Kurt Ogden, Hamilton Heights High School Athletic Director.

“Micah exceeded all expectations of a father and coach,” said Drew Colvin, Hamilton Heights Varsity Soccer Coach. “He put in the training and work. Every coach wishes for players that put in the work like Micah. I am a proud coach and father. Congratulations, Micah!”
