Columbia's 5th publicly confirmed commit for the fall of 2018 is an interesting example of how some recruiters look at high school players.
6-4, 205 pound Brandon Radice was supposed to start at QB last year for Ridge HS in Basking Ridge, NJ. But he got injured with a broken collarbone and he missed the season.
But that's not all. Radice had been a running back until the end of his sophomore year when his coaches moved him to QB. And now, he's listed as a TE by the Columbia recruiters.
Obviously, despite very little experience at any one position in high school the Columbia coaches see some potential for Radice and are banking on being able to develop him properly at the college level.
Incredibly, Radice will be the first documented Ridge HS grad to come to Columbia Football.
That brings our list on reported commits for 2018 to five:
1) Devin Hart LB 6-1 212 lbs. McEachem HS Powder Springs, GA
2) Chris Park WR 5-11 175 lbs. Junipero Serra HS San Mateo, CA
3) Brandon Radice TE 6-4, 205 lbs. Ridge HS Basking Ridge, NJ
4) Mitchell Sturgill DB 6-1, 185 lbs Bellevue HS Bellevue, WA
5) Watson Tansil LB 6-3, 215 lbs. Franklin Road Academy Nashville, TN
Josh Martin
Martin Stars in Jets Preseason Win
Josh Martin '13 had a big night for the N.Y. Jets in the preseason opening win over Tennessee Saturday night. The Jets Wire fan website had this to say about it:
- LB Josh Martin: Martin, a special teams star, had one heckuva night on defense. The linebacker recovered a fumble, picked up a sack and recorded four tackles and two total quarterback hits. Not bad for a guy that would love to see some defensive snaps.
