Background

Early life

Kolar grew up in Norman, Oklahoma and attended Norman North High School in the city, where he played football and basketball. As a junior he caught 52 passes for 920 yards and 13 touchdowns. He was named first-team All-State as a senior after recording 66 receptions for 1,240 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was a basketball teammate of NBA All-Star Trae Young at Norman North. Kolar committed to play college football at Iowa State University in Ames going into his senior year over offers from Air Force Academy, Army (U.S. Military Academy) and Stephen F.

Kolar caught 51 passes for 697 yards and seven touchdowns as a redshirt sophomore and was named first-team All-Big 12.
