Commitment Comeback




It seemed like the commitment news dried up as soon as the season started, but now we have news that 6-3, 193-pound Joshua Smythe-Macaulay has committed to the Lions.

Smythe-Macaulay plays DB at Bowie HS in Austin, TX, but Columbia is labeling him as a LB.

He will be only the second Bowie HS grad to come to Columbia Football after current sophomore star WR Josh Wainwright. 

Smythe-Macaulay made the Austin area All-District 1st Team as a cornerback last year and had quality offers from Rice, New Mexico, Navy, Air Force, and Army.


That brings our list on reported commits for 2018 to 10:

1) Inho Choi DB 6-1 175 lbs. Holy Names HS Windsor, Ontario/Deerfield Academy

2) Devin Hart LB 6-1 212 lbs. McEachem HS Powder Springs, GA

3) Drake Morey DL 6-5 250 lbs. Ashland HS Ashland, OR

4) Chris Park WR 5-11 175 lbs. Junipero Serra HS San Mateo, CA

5) Brandon Radice TE 6-4, 205 lbs. Ridge HS Basking Ridge, NJ

6) Mikey Roussos WR 6-1 180 lbs. River Ridge HS New Port Richey, FL 

7) Joshua Smythe-Macaulay LB 6-3 193 lbs. Bowie HS, Austin, TX

8) Mitchell Sturgill DB 6-1, 185 lbs Bellevue HS Bellevue, WA

9) Watson Tansil LB 6-3, 215 lbs. Franklin Road Academy Nashville, TN

10) Ryan Young RB 5-10 200 lbs. Wheaton Warrenville South HS Wheaton, IL

We keep reloading on tallish LBs....no QB as yet.

Chen, I wouldn't be surprised if they already have at least one qb in the fold, maybe starting with John Foreback, and are keeping them under cover. Another big need is d-linemen.
