Colzie ranks as a four-star prospect per Rivals and the No. 95 recruit nationally. Additionally, the 6-foot-4, 205-pounder ranks as the No. 9 recruit in Georgia and the No. 6 athlete in the land. Colzie is expected to play receiver for the Irish.
Notre Dame has six commitments in the 2021 class, and all of the Irish pledges are ranked as top 200 recruits nationally per Rivals.
Analyst Tom Lemming says that Colzie is "A tall, very athletic WR who shows the hands, the speed, the moves, and the production to dominate at the next level. Very physical off the line of scrimmage, he can go up and get it like no one’s business. He’s also an excellent downfield blocker."
