Almost every day, rain or shine, an orange clad youth can be seen in makeshift practice, devoutly honing his football skills.
Decked out in UT clothes, pads and a helmet, 18-year-old Colton Ruehle goes to the Walnut Hill boat ramp near his home and practices, spiraling a football and attacking his makeshift practice dummy, a desk chair, with as much ferocity as he can muster.
“He’s out here every day. Rain. Snow. It don’t matter,” said mom Vicky Brown.
