It's been a while since Columbia snagged a player from north of the border, but Ontario's 6-2, 175 pound DB Inho Choi committed to the Lions Thursday.
Choi will do a PG year at Deerfield Academy this year, but his football calling card so far is a two-year stint on the Team Canada under-18 football team. He attended Holy Names HS in Windsor, Ontario.
Choi will be the first Holy Names grad to come to Columbia.
The best Canadian player in recent Columbia history was Tad Crawford '07, who was also a DB and went on to enjoy a long career in the CFL.
But while Columbia has snagged 16 players from Deerfield over the years, including the great QB Archie Roberts '65, it's been a whopping 27 years since the last one, (Mark Coady '94), came on board.
That brings our list on reported commits for 2018 to six:
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) Chris Park WR 5-11 175 lbs. Junipero Serra HS San Mateo, CA
4) Brandon Radice TE 6-4, 205 lbs. Ridge HS Basking Ridge, NJ
5) Mitchell Sturgill DB 6-1, 185 lbs Bellevue HS Bellevue, WA
6) Watson Tansil LB 6-3, 215 lbs. Franklin Road Academy Nashville, TN
