Chris Colsey, a senior standout at Ridgefield High School, is set to join the North Carolina men's lacrosse team next year. Colsey is one of Connecticut's top wide receivers on the Tigers, who are currently ranked No. 8 in the GametimeCT Top 10 poll. His family has a strong lacrosse tradition, with his father Roy being a four-time All-American at Syracuse, his older brother Ryan at Virginia, and his younger brother Kyle at Duke.

Colsey has expressed confidence in how his rooting interests will align when he faces his brother Kyle at Ridgefield next season. Despite the pressure of being the youngest Colsey in a lacrosse family, Ridgefield football coach Jamie Reed has praised Colsey's healthy way of handling expectations. Colsey has responded positively to the challenge, stating that he loves lacrosse and is proud to be part of the program's turnaround.
