6-3, 198 pound Safety Scott Valentas from Kapaun Mount Carmel Catholic HS in Wichita, Kansas has committed to Columbia.
Valentas recently made some serious noise at a University of Nebraska recruiting camp and seemed likely to get an offer any day from the Cornhuskers. But Valentas made the wiser decision to go the Ivy League route.
Valentas had more than 11 other offers from FCS schools, including one from Cornell. It does seem that at this very early stage, he is the top incoming player for the 2019 freshman class.
Valentas will be the first Kapaun grad to come to Columbia Football and the first Wichita native to join the program since Dennis Peterson '72.
That brings our list of reportedly committed players for 2019 to six:
1. Bryan Bell-Anderson 5"10 170 lbs. Dr. Phillips HS Orlando, FL
2. Dominic Dodson DB 5"11 185 lbs. Central Catholic HS Pittsburgh, PA
3. Alex Felkins K 6"4 170 lbs. Holland Hall HS Tulsa, OK
4. Ryan Hamilton DB/RB 5"11 195 lbs. Coffman HS Dublin, OH
5. Mitch Moyer DE 6-4, 255 lbs. Archmere Academy Claymont, DE
6. Scott Valentas DB 6-3, 198 lbs. Kapaun Mount Carmel Catholic HS Wichita, KS

Hey Jake, that's four DBs out of
six recruits and we already have 19 on the squad! By the way, in your scope of our pass-catching tight ends you had a serious omission as you forgot to mention rising soph Casey Mariucci who got a special mention from Al after the spring game!
Shame he's not a Linesman.
