Cameron John Colvin (born March 5, 1986) is a former professional football wide receiver.[1]
Early life
Both of Colvin's parents passed away before he turned 16.[2] He played high school football for the De La Salle High School Spartans. De La Salle's football program held a 151-game winning streak at the time, the longest recorded streak in American football history.[3]
Colvin's high school career has been depicted in the 2014 film When the Game Stands Tall, in which he was portrayed by Ser'Darius Blain.[4]
College career
As a high school senior, Colvin committed to the University of Oregon in 2004.[5] He graduated from the University of Oregon in 2007.[5] His college career was hampered by a number of injuries; after catching 22 passes for 332 yards as a sophomore, he was limited to 121 receiving yards the following year.[6]
Professional career
Colvin was signed by the San Francisco 49ers on April 27, 2008 as an undrafted free agent and was released on August 30, 2008.[7] He was signed by the Sacramento Mountain Lions for the 2010 season but was released soon after. He was then signed by the Las Vegas Locomotives in 2011, catching 9 receptions for 80 yards during his time there. After the 2011 season, he became a free agent.[8]
Legal issues
Colvin has been the president of Nevada-based CamCo Commercial Inc. since July 2019.[9] Colvin and CamCo have been defendants in multiple civil cases involving allegations of fraud, breach of contract, and unpaid wages, resulting in judgments exceeding $8 million.[10]
In August 2025, Sportico reported that Colvin was under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in relation to an alleged investment fraud scheme.[11]
On October 30, 2025, Colvin was arrested by the FBI and charged with wire fraud and transactional money laundering. In a federal indictment filed on October 21, he is accused of defrauding victims of $1.25 million through false investment opportunities.[12]
