High School Career

Colon was born in Webb City, Missouri to Heriberto "Eddie" and Neysa Rosaria Colon. His mother moved from Puerto Rico to go to college at Missouri Southern State University in Joplin and his father followed shortly after. His dad died in a motor vehicle accident in Joplin when Trystan was one year old. [1]

He was a three-year varsity football player for the Webb City High School Cardinals, during the 2013 through 2015 seasons as an offensive lineman. He contributed to two class 4 state championship teams and one runner-up team, that tallied an overall record of 43-2, and included a 15-0 season in 2014. [2] He also played basketball in high school.

College career

He played college football at Missouri. He earned the team's Lifter of the Year after his redshirt season. Due to his success as a true freshman, Colon started 13 games the following year, making it onto the Southeastern Conference coaches' All-Freshman squad. He also was given the Team Underclassmen Leadership Award. He started the final 38 games of his three years playing after his redshirt year. [3] He then started all 25 games for the Tigers in 2018 and 2019 but the team was ineligible to participate in a bowl game due to NCAA sanctions. [4]
