As a freshman, Cole sat behind current Louisville freshman Lekhy Thompson. After Thompson left for IMG Academy in 2025, Cole sat as the backup to Hank Miller, who went on to play at Carson-Newman. Now, as a Junior, Cole is seizing his chance to be the Lions' lead running back. He rushed for 226 yards and two touchdowns as TCA (5-1, 3-1 in DII-A West) handed Jackson Christian (6-1, 2-1) its first loss of the season, 28-14, on Oct. 1.
