Filling out the List

The good news is that we now know the names of all the new 2021 commits the coaches have been crowing about on social media. I'll briefly profile them and add them to the list below. 

The bad news is that parents of current students tell me that Columbia is still not planning to return to normal on-campus living and classes through the NEXT fall semester. In other words, no real campus life until 2022. 

If that's the case, I don't see how Ivy League football or any team sports recruiting can go on or whether these sports will ever be able to really recover. 

So, let's just keep an eye on all of this for now.

Chase Harleston

CA WR, part one

The first of two California-based WR's the coaches tweeted about is 6"3 185-pound Chase Harleston from the Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles.  Harleston is a great combination of speed, hands, and height. 

He had offers from Penn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Army, Air Force, Cal Poly, Fordham, UC Davis, UNLV, San Diego, and Northern Arizona.

Harleston will be the fifth Harvard-Westlake grad to come to Columbia Football.

Terrell Long

CA WR, part two

Next is 6"3 180-pound Terrell Long from the Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, CA.  Long also had solid offers from Princeton, Harvard, Dartmouth, and Cornell. 

Long will be the second Sierra Canyon grad to come to Columbia Football.

Jake Langdon

Indy RB

Another new commit is 6"0 185-pound RB Jake Langdon from Cathedral High School in Indianapolis. He had offers from local schools like Valparaiso and Butler. 

Langdon will be the first Cathedral HS grad to come to Columbia Football.
