The Columbia football roster has been updated with the new weights for the players.
And the differences are DRAMATIC.
Below I have listed the new weights and changes for the players listed by position.
You'll seem the most eye-popping changes for yourself, but here's what got my attention the most:
Freshman Daren Napier gained 44 POUNDS to 305 lbs?!?!? If so, he would make a great DT, but is that right?
Wells Childress down 26 pounds to 249, (but I reported that before).
Nick Melka down 29 POUNDS to 216.
Shad Sommers down 33 pounds to 250.
Eric Stock down 43 POUNDS to 227!
Now for the shocking losses along the O-line:
Tom Callahan down 37 pounds to 258.
Dylan Leonard down 46 pounds to 245
Jimmy Yukevich down 44 pounds to 253.
Freshman Marshall Markham was up 30 pounds to 295.
I'm not sure how many of these veteran offensive linemen can continue to go at the Ivy level at just 250 or 245 pounds. But I know cutting weight was a major goal for Head Coach Peter Mangurian, and he's getting it.

We were a very slow team last year. An OL which averaged 290 but the worst running game in the Ivies. So Pete, who knows how to build an OL, wants to emphasize speed and strength.
More muscle and less fat equates to a much faster and athletic team that can outrun its opponents on offense and do many things better on defense. I agree with the Old Lion that Pete wants to emphasize speed and strength on the offensive line. However, I believe he's looking to do that throughout the team.
Let's look at it in terms of the 4th quarter. Except for the Herculean effort against Brown, we basically became unravelled in the fourth quarter last year. We outplayed or played other teams even up or better in most first halves, generally didn't play well in the third quarter, and usually were even worse in the fourth quarter. Take the Harvard game, in which we played them even up for the first half. Ditto the Cornell game, to pick Jake's two top choices this year. I thought at the time that we did not make proper half time adjustments. While that is still my view, I also thought that we were gassed by the second quarter, especially on the OL. So conditioning really pays off at the end of each game. The best Ivy teams of the past few years were not the biggest, or the heaviest, but the strongest and he best conditioned.
I could not agree more with Oldlion
My understanding is that almost all (less than a couple) made the weight they were assigned. With this being the case, this is where Coach M wants the players.
