Braeden Bellmer
6-4, 260 pound OL Braeden Bellmer from Puyallup HS in the Tacoma/Seattle area has committed to the Lions for 2020.
Bellmar had offers from Rice, Harvard, Eastern Washington, and several other schools. According to my Lionfeeders database, He will be only the second Puyallup HS grad to come to Columbia Football and the first since Dan Grimm '72.
Anthony Roussos
Also joining the Lions next year is a player with a familiar last name, Anthony Roussos a 6-0, 210 pound LB from River Ridge HS in New Port Richey, FL.
Yes, Roussos is the younger brother of rising Lion sophomore All Ivy kick returner Mike Roussos. He and his brother are the only River Ridge players to come to Columbia Football.
The younger Roussos has played on offense in high school, but he will be a linebacker for CU.
So our list of commits for 2020 has swelled to three:
1. Braeden Bellmer OL 6-4 260 lbs. Puyallup HS Puyallup, WA
2. Jackson Coker WR 5-11 170 lbs. Westlake HS Austin, TX
3. Anthony Roussos LB 6-0 210 lbs. River Ridge HS New Port Richey, FL

Jake, that's Jackson "Coker", and Anthony Roussos is a "2-way star" according to a write-up, has played lots of both LB and RB.
Well, it looks as if Columbia Football recruiting for the Class of 2020 is off to a blazing start.
According to my research, Braeden Bellmer was offered by Cornell, Penn, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, along with a host of other non-Ivy schools.
My guess is that all the other high school football seniors who are students of the first rank looking at Columbia and the other Ivies will no doubt want to find out who has committed to which school, and why.
When they check Columbia's list of commits, they will see, among others, Braeden Bellmer and find out he committed to the Lions in mid-summer, 2019.
Moreover, they'll no doubt want to read why Bellmer chose Columbia over these other Ivy schools, just as I did.
If they do that, they will be impressed with what Bellmer had to say about Columbia, as I was.
Seeing great prospects like Bellmer who committed so early to Columbia, and why, will, I believe, have a most positive effect on them, and rightly so.
