Early life
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 Alcorn State Braves in 2018[2] and 2019,[3] with Cole playing all the games as a starter in 2019. In both seasons he was named first-team All-Southwestern Athletic Conference.[4][5]
In the 2020 season, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic which forced the Braves to cancel several games, Cole was only able to practice.[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 with the Cardinals.[8] 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]
