Colton Lamson, a 2015 graduate of Union Mine High School and more recently a defensive lineman for Sacramento City College, has signed his grant-in-aid agreement to play football for UC Davis, announced head coach Dan Hawkins on Tuesday. He is expected to enroll with the university for the 2017 fall quarter.<\/p>\n
Standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 235 pounds, Lamson recorded 24 tackles with 2.5 for losses during his redshirt freshman season at Sac City. He notched a five-yard sack in the Panthers\u2019 Nov. 5 win over Feather River College, then earned a season-best six stops in the State Center Bowl victory against Diablo Valley College two weeks later. However, Lamson intends to switch to offensive line with the Aggies.<\/p>\n
Lamson previously lettered in both football and baseball at Union Mine HS in nearby El Dorado Hills. He garnered first-team All-Sierra Valley Conference honors as a tight end and defensive end during his senior year under head coach Davy Johnson. Lamson logged 36 tackles with a sack, a hurry and two passes defended that year, while serving as a team captain. In fact, he demonstrated his leadership off the field as well: he served as class president during his junior and senior years at UHMS.<\/p>\n
Academically, Lamson was a four-year scholar-athlete in high school, then added similar honors while at Sac City. His father, Jeff Lamson, played tight end for Washington State during the mid-1980s.<\/p>\n
UC Davis, which announced a record recruiting class during last February\u2019s signing period, enters its first season under Hawkins\u2019 watch. The Aggies will open on September 2 at San Diego State.<\/p>\n
