How’d he get to The Blue™?
Boomer made himself a villain in Boise after spoiling what would have probably been named something like “The Madsen Miracle”. He hit a 40 yard field goal as time expired (and 3 other field goals) to beat the Broncos for his UCF Knights. Ironically, that game was probably the highest point of his career thusfar, and the impact of injuries pretty much removed him for the majority of 2024. Now Boomer looks for a fresh start, and given his track record on the Blue, Bronco coaches were happy to oblige.
Nickname
“Co-Boom”
Normally, taking the first two letters of a first name and the last 4 of a last name doesn’t make much of a nickname (See names such as Ch-Marsh, Ma-Nota, Ma-Mads). However, like making kicks, Colton Boomer makes it easy.
Look-alike
The lookalike machine, with some thought, landed on Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin. At the least, they’re both explosive.
Career Highlights
He was prolific his freshman season at UCF, hitting 14/15 for a cool 93%. He took a setback with an injury the following season, going 13/21 in 2023 and 3/6 in 2024. He hit his career long of 55 against Boise State.
2025 Prospectus
Boomer is in the midst of a kicker battle with Jarrett Reser. Some reports have indicated that Reeser is in the lead, but all accounts seem to think neither has set themselves apart yet. It’ll be interesting to see, but the best case scenario is that with some recuperation from injury, Boomer returns to his freshman season form for the Broncos.
Is he on Twi/X?
Not too many tweets from @BoomerColton, but he does have this:
Completely made up fact
After his football career ends, Colton has big plans for a business venture in the future. He’s already invested his life savings into personalized greeting cards for football specialists. Soon you can let that special long-snapper in your life know how much they mean to you.
I sure hope he finds his groove. He sure had it when he played against BSU. In my view, there is only one way he can make atonement for that–kick the winning field goat for the Broncos in the National Championship.
