Darion Acohido
Over the first two years of Head Coach Al Bagnoli's Columbia tenure, the Lion return game hasn't been very good.
Now it looks like he's bringing in a ringer.
5-9 178 pound WR/RB/DB Darion Acohido, who was featured nationally by USA Today as possibly the best return man in the country, has committed to Columbia.
Of course, he also has some very strong stats as a receiver.
Acohido is from Liberty High School in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson, NV.
Here's an interview with the impressive Acohido from early last season.
Acohido will be the first Liberty HS grad to come to Columbia, but a number of Vegas-area players including three grads from Liberty rival Bishop Gorman HS in Michael Geraghty, Dylan Weldon, and Daniel Hong.

Jake, how many more open slots do we have, insofar as we had 39 recruits last year 9admittedly to make up for the 21 we had the year before)? And how do you think this group compares in terms of where we were at this time last year (some of our 3 star guys committed late last year as I recall). My guess is that we are probably now looking for a few more OLs and DLs.
