Qwynnterrio Cole (born May 27, 1999) is an American football strong safety for the St. Louis Battlehawks of the United Football League (UFL). He played college football for the Alcorn State Braves and the Louisville Cardinals.
Cole, originally from Memphis, Tennessee, began playing football at the local East High School and then committed to play college football at Alcorn State University.[1]
Cole won the conference title with the Alcorn State Braves in 2018[2] and 2019,[3] with Cole playing all the games as a starter in 2019. In both seasons he was named first-team All-Southwestern Athletic Conference.[4] [5]
In the 2020 season, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic which forced the Braves to cancel several games, Cole was only able to practice.[6]
In 2021, Cole had the option to enter the 2021 NFL draft but chose to stay in college football for another year[7] and transferred to the University of Louisville with the Cardinals.[8] In his only year at Louisville, Cole started every game of the season, recording a total of 86 tackles, 65 of which were solo, making him second on the team.[9]
In early 2022, Cole, having completed his college football career and eligible for the 2022 NFL draft, was invited to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine.[10]
