PA Commit




Tyler Kwiatkowski


I'm feeling pretty good about the veracity of a few reports I'm hearing about 6-3 220 lbs. LB Tyler Kwiatkowski committing to Columbia this past weekend.

Kwiatkowski is from Mount Carmel HS in Pennsylvania and he would be the first documented Mount Carmel alum to play football for the Lions.

Tyler's coach, Carmen DeFrancesco, has this to say about him:

"Tyler's a very cerebral kid," DeFrancesco says. "He doesn't make mistakes. He studies the game. They both are the type of kids who accept everything you ask them to do. They never question. They just say 'What can we do to help?"

Sounds like the kind of player who would impress Columbia Head Coach Pete Mangurian.

Here's our list so far:


1. Keith Brady, LB 6-2 205 lbs. Lakota East HS, Liberty Township, OH
2. Toure Douglas, WR 6-4 188 lbs. Vineland HS, Vineland, NJ
3. Cameron Dunn, WR 6-3 210 lbs. St. Xavier HS, Cincinnati, OH
4. Tyler Kwiatkowski, LB 6-3 220 lbs. Mount Carmel HS, Mount Carmel, PA
5. Cameron Nizialek, K/P 6-3 195 lbs. Freedom HS, South Riding, VA
*6. Brett Nottingham, QB 6-4 212 lbs. Monte Vista HS, Danville, CA
7. Kendall Pace, OL 6-5 250 lbs. Bishop McNamara HS, Forestville, MD 
8. Will Peoples, S 6-1 190 lbs. Buckingham, Browne & Nichols, Cambridge, MA
9. Richard Wolff, OL 6-3 254 lbs. Crespi HS Encino, CA

*=Transfer from Stanford University, junior status.

In other news...

Yale's Tom Williams is staying in the coaching ranks this fall. He'll be the new linebackers coach at FIU.

The kid from MT. Carmel looks like a good one .... good size frame .... I think he'll be a good one ..... curiously, you should take a look at the kid on the other end of Mt. Carmel's D-lie ... he's committed to Northwestern ...
