J'Von Brown is an NFL draft prospect
While Columbia's other two out of conference opponents, Marist and Georgetown, did not fare very well in their conference media day polls or preseason all-star teams, the third OOC opponent for the Lions is looking a lot stronger.
Week 4 opponent Central Connecticut State (CCSU) came in second in the NEC preseason poll. Senior WR Tyshaun James and senior OL J'Von Brown were named to the preseason all-conference offensive team, and senior LB Tre Jones made the defensive team.
CCSU defeated the Lions 24-14 in a tighter game than the final score would indicate in 2019 on the way to winning the NEC crown. Columbia defeated CCSU in 2018 by a 41-24 score, but that game led to season-ending injuries for WR Josh Wainwright and a concussion that seems to have hurt QB Josh Bean's chances of ever reaching his full potential at CU.
The CU-CCSU game is in Connecticut this year.
