Coach Chameraud on Atkinson: "Colten will be a powerful left wingback for us. He has come to our ID camp a couple times and we really liked his strength, power, and intensity. He has a good left foot and can go up and down the field. He is a good defender but can also bring danger forward. He is also someone that will be successful in the classroom."
 
Atkinson on choosing MSUB: "I chose MSUB soccer because the team and coaches were very welcoming. It seems like the perfect place for me to grow as a student and as an athlete."
