Yale's List


Tyler Varga


Yale has announced its incoming football class of 2016, and there are a lot of names on the list that Columbia had been going after.

Of course we all know about QB Logan Scott, who originally committed to the Lions and switched to Yale.

But Columbia also heavily recruited Archuleta, Killion, Longinotti, and Meador.

The surprise addition is RB Tyler Varga, a transfer from the University of Western Ontario. At 5-11 and 220 pounds, he could make an impact in this league.

But all the recruiting overlap is sure to make this rivalry even sharper going forward.

Columbia hasn't defeated Yale since 2001, and there have been a lot of bitter and close losses since then.

Due to a quirk in the schedule, the Bulldogs come to Wien Stadium for the second year in a row this October. And the game is likely to again be televised on the YES Network.

Get ready...

Jake, what about recruiting wins that we scored over Yale? Isn't the younger Gerst one of them?
