Now under Head Coach Frank Scelfo, Southeastern Louisiana is looking to boost their special teams units with the addition of local punter Luke Colona.

A member of Loranger’s 2018 class, Colona was a two-time LHSAA 4A All-State pick and was selected to the 2017 Louisiana Sportswriter’s Association Class 3A All-State list.

Colona also thrived as a wide receiver for the Wolves, who won the District 7-3A Championship this season with a 4-0 record (7-6 overall). He received First Team honors as an All-District selection as a punter and a receiver.

The 6’3 and 175 lbs. senior chose Southeastern over Louisiana Tech and Southwestern Oklahoma State University. He made a public announcement via Twitter on Saturday, February 10.
