Trystan Colon (born March 23, 1998), formerly known as Trystan Colon-Castillo, is an American football center for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Missouri.
Colon was born in Webb City, Missouri to Puerto Rican parents.[1] He earned the team's Lifter of the Year after his redshirt season.[2] Due to his success as a true freshman, Colon started 13 games the following year, making it onto the Southeastern Conference coaches' All-Freshman squad. He then started all 25 games for the Tigers in 2018 and 2019 but the team was ineligible to participate in a bowl game due to NCAA sanctions.[3]
