Colley was one of the top recruits in the class of 2015, and committed to South Carolina initially. She played in 11 games for the Gamecocks, but transferred to Pittsburg in January of 2016 before arriving in East Lansing in the fall of 2016.
After sitting out for one season due to transferring rules, Colley played at Michigan State through the end of her career. She started in 51 games as a Spartan, and saw action in 62 total games. Colley averaged 13.3 points per game, 5.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game during her career in Green and White.
Colley had career highs in scoring (32 points), made field goals (12), blocks (two) and steals (five) versus Indiana on Feb. 11, 2019. She missed four games in her redshirt senior season, 2019-2020, while playing with the Canadian National Team.
