Early life and high school

Cole, originally from Memphis, Tennessee, began playing football at the local East High School and then committed to play college football at Alcorn State University. [1]

College career

Cole won the conference title with the Braves in 2018 [2] that especially in the 2019 season, [3] in which he played all the matches as a starter. In both seasons he was included in the lineup of the best players in the conference (First-Team All-SWAC). [4] [5]

In the 2020 season, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic which forced the Braves not to play some games, Cole was only able to train. [6]

In 2021, Cole had the option to enter the 2021 NFL draft but chose to stay in college football for another year [7] and transferred to the University of Louisville [8] with the Cardinals. In his only year at Louisville, Cole started every game of the season, recording a total of 86 tackles, 65 of which were solo, making him second on the team. [9]

In early 2022, Cole, having completed his college football career and eligible for the 2022 NFL draft, was invited to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine. [10]
