Playing the 2019 season with Cincinnati Christian University (CCU) the Middletown, Ohio natives season got cut short because the program got cut with three game left in the season, a day later he received an offer from UC to continue his football career.
I asked Cole why UC? His response, “I never got a chance to play with the big boys which I why I chose CCU, but I feel like this is my second chance and an opportunity to prove I belong with with the big boys. I had to take this opportunity.”
Pelgen will be on campus in the winter. From a small college on the west of Cincinnati to Clifton is a nice jump for a defensive lineman that didn’t get much fanfare coming out of high school. TFON looks forward to seeing how your UC pans out.
Congrats to Cole!
