Some Magic from Orlando

21 Days to Training Camp Report Day

51 Days to Season Opener at Marist





Some Freshman Stories

I thought I'd highlight some of the more interesting stories that I haven't already highlighted about our incoming freshmen players over the next few days and weeks.

Today's spotlight frosh is DB Kameryn Metcalf from Orlando, FL and Dr. Phillips HS (where current senior starter at DB, Brian Bell-Anderson, also graduated. 

Metcalf has an interesting family history he should be very proud of. 

I won't list all the details here, because I can't do as good a job of it as Spectrum Sports reporter Luke Hetrick did in this piece about Kameryn, his brother, his mom, and his late father who died in 2019 of cancer after serving seven tours for U.S. Army as a Ranger, Green Beret, and with the Airborne Division. 

Columbia's recruiters are always looking for good talent. But since the Al Bagnoli staff came on board in 2015, there's also been a major push for finding players with the right kind of character to be leaders on the field and in the dorm rooms. It sure seems like they found someone like that with Metcalf.
