Colin Westrich was a dominating offensive tackle on outstanding Rocket football teams in the late 1990's. A three-time All-MAC selection, Westrich began his career quietly, playing as a reserve as a freshman in 1995, and sitting out the 1996 season due to injury. He came back healthy in 1997, however, and started in 11 of 12 games, earning second-team All-MAC honors as UT went 9-3 and won the West Division crown. He garnered first-team All-MAC honors in 1998 as UT again won the MAC West crown. In 1999, Westrich was named team captain, earning first-team All-MAC honors for the second time on a team that led the nation in rushing yards per carry (5.35). He was rewarded for his excellence when the Sporting News named him third-team All-America.
