Darrell Colbert Sr.

 Darrell Colbert was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas. He was a prep star at Beaumont Westbrook high school and went on to a record-setting gridiron career at Texas Southern University (TSU) in Houston, TX, where he earned his Bachelors degree.

While at TSU, Darrell became one of its all time leading receivers.  He was inducted into the TSU Hall of Fame in 2010:

• #1 All-Time Leader TSU history-    215 Receptions
  
• #2 All-time TSU history-             3,177  Receiving Yards
  
• #3 All-Time TSU history-                 33  Touchdowns
  

Interestingly, he was not drafted coming out of college but was signed as a free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he played from 1987-1988. Colbert was the only rookie to make the team in 1987.  

From Kansas City, Colbert went on to the Canadian Football League where he played for the British Columbia Lions and the Edmonton Eskimos.

In 1992, he was drafted by the San Antonio Riders of the World League of American Football (WLAF), which served as a farm system for the NFL. 

Following his retirement from pro football, Colbert became a Houston Firefighter. 

Never straying far from the game he loves, Colbert served as TSU's Receivers Coach from 2009-2010. He guided one of the most prolific passing offenses in the nation, winning the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Championship in 2010.

He continues to give back to the community not only through his work as a firefighter, but as a teacher, mentor, and coach.

Colbert also hosts position-specific camps where he teaches and coaches the specific fundamentals, skills, and mindset needed to be successful not only in football but in life.

Darrell has been happily married to wife Jocie since 1990. He is the proud father of one son, Darrell Jr., and daughters Jazmyne, and Dakeemia.

SAI is pleased to have Darrell Colbert on-board as an integral part of our team. In his role as Director-Individualized Training and Camps, Colbert will organize, oversee, and market SAI's efforts in the areas of position-specific training and camps in the US and internationally.
