Lehmon Colbert Jr. (born April 14, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for UCC Demons of the Irish Super League. He played college basketball for Jacksonville University before playing professionally in England, Mexico and Ireland. He quickly became a dominant force upon joining UCC Demons in 2013, helping them win seven of a possible nine trophies over three seasons.
Colbert was reared in the state of Georgia, where his pitching made him lean towards baseball, before his height and strength saw him gravitate towards basketball.
Colbert attended Crawford County High School in Roberta, Georgia. As a senior in 2005–06, he averaged 25 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, four steals and three blocks per game. He was named second-team all-state in Class 2A as a junior, and first-team all-state in Class 2A as a senior.
On April 12, 2006, Colbert signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball for Jacksonville University.
As a freshman at Jacksonville in 2006–07, Colbert played in all 29 games with 28 starting assignments. He was named to the Atlantic Sun All-Freshman Team after finishing second on the team in scoring (11.7 ppg) and rebounding (5.2 rpg). He scored in double figures 18 times, including the final three games of the season.
