Home Phone: 281-331-7925 Football: Q&A with Colin Windsor Joshua Parrott • jparrott@theadvertiser.com • October 2, 2010 Colin Windsor battled injuries earlier in his collegiate career, but the fifth-year senior has made the most of his final season at UL as the starting left tackle. The Alvin, Texas, native will return to his home state today as the Ragin’ Cajuns play North Texas. Windsor spoke with The Daily Advertiser earlier in the week to share more about his life on and off the field. Question: What does it mean for you to play again in Texas? Answer: I have a lot of family that is going to make this game that wouldn’t be able to make it over here because of location. I know my brother and his wife and in-laws are going to make the game along with my parents and grandparents. Q: How many different injuries have you faced in college, and how nice is it to be healthy? A: It was good to work my way up and learn from the older guys. Those guys earned their spots, and I hoped to rotate in. But injuries happen. In my redshirt sophomore year two years ago against FAU, I tore a ligament in my thumb and had to have surgery and missed the last three games of the year. Last year I dislocated my right kneecap at the end of training camp, so I missed the first six weeks. It’s good to finally belong. Q: In terms of recruiting, how exactly did you end up at UL? A: I had just set a trip to Texas State and actually had a trip to North Texas the next weekend. But (former UL assistant) coach (Terry) Sims came to my high school and said that he wanted me to come in for an official visit. He called me and said (head) coach (Rickey) Bustle wanted to offer me. Texas State hadn’t offered yet, so I called them and said I’m going to take an official visit here. I came here and really liked it. Q: What do you do in your spare time away from football? A: Most of the time I hang out with my three brothers. One of them is mentally challenged, so I like to spend a lot of time with him. We wrestle, and he gets the better of me sometimes because I teach him stuff. Q: Do you have a plan of what you want to do after football? A: I’d like to continue playing football, but I think less than one percent of (college) players make it to the NFL. Right now I’m studying petroleum engineering and plan to go into that field. I want to get a secure job and hopefully get back closer to my family.
