The morbidly obese high school offensive lineman who shattered his much smaller opponent’s spine in a shocking gridiron assault last week has reportedly received a stiff punishment for his actions.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a junior varsity game in Berrien County between the Kalamazoo Central Maroon Giants and the Lakeshore Lancers on Thursday was marred when a Maroon Giants player lost his temper during a play in the third quarter and apparently decided to try to end an opponent’s career.
As the footage below shows, a 15-year-old defender for the Lancers gets tangled up with a Kalamazoo Central offensive lineman. Then, the Maroon Giants lineman leaps on the defender with his full body weight.
One can only imagine the pain the Lakeshore player felt when it happened.
During a junior varsity football game in Berrien County, Michigan, on September 19, 2025, Lakeshore High School player Colton Mims sustained severe spine fractures after an opponent jumped on him.

Local resident Courtney Mims came forward and told WSBT that her son Colton was the victim of this vicious gridiron assault.
Colton was taken to the hospital, where doctors found that his spine was broken in two places. Courtney Mims said that while Colton is expected to recover fully, he may not be able to play football ever again.
The Michigan High School Athletics Association (MHSSA) told Fox News on Monday that Kalamazoo Central took “strong and decisive action” against the thug who assaulted his helpless opponent.
The organization said that due to student privacy laws, it could not disclose the specific actions but would leave the school to fill in the details.
“Our staff has been speaking with both schools since Friday. Kalamazoo Central has taken this matter very seriously, and they have taken strong and decisive action,” MHSAA said. “Due to student privacy laws, we cannot disclose the specific accountability actions, but they have exceeded what MHSAA regulations would otherwise require in cases of dangerous and unsportsmanlike behavior.”
Kalamazoo Public Schools provided the following statement to Fox News later Monday.
An incident that occurred during Kalamazoo Central High School’s Junior Varsity football game on Sept. 19 was the action of an individual student who displayed an egregious act against a player on the opposing team.
This type of behavior is unacceptable and does not reflect the values of sportsmanship, respect, and integrity that Kalamazoo Public Schools expects from student-athletes, coaches and the entire school community.
