Head coach Tim Corbin on Brightwell: “Collin enters our program as a dynamic freshman, and we were fortunate to find him late in the summer. He fits our team well and possesses traits similar to the center fielders we’ve had over the past five years. Collin can play all three outfield positions and brings versatility to our roster. Offensively, he is a switch hitter with good bat speed and emerging gap power, while his speed is a true game-changer on both sides of the ball. He is a mature, committed, and deliberate young man who works with intention and purpose. Collin made significant improvement over the course of the fall and carried that same focus into the classroom, earning academic honors in his first semester.”
