Melanie Colson wants to summarize her son's journey for people, but it's hard.
"I reflect on it from time to time," she said. "I don't know that I have words for it."
Melanie and her husband, Steve, adopted Junior Colson in 2012, bringing him from a Haiti orphanage in the wake of a deadly earthquake to Middle Tennessee.
Colson developed into a four-star high school football prospect at Ravenwood. Now he's a 6-foot-3, 247-pound Michigan linebacker, who will make his 15th start this season for Jim Harbaugh when the Wolverines (14-0) plays Washington (14-0) in Monday's College Football Playoff national championship game at NRG Stadium in Houston.
