This was a very good day in the history of Columbia recruiting.
First off, we have 6-2 180 pound WR Jordan Kelly from Refugio HS in Refugio, TX near Corpus Christi. Kelly had offers from Virginia, Princeton, Brown, and others.
He will be the first Refugio HS grad to come to Columbia Football.
Next, we have 6-4 220 pound D/TE Stryker Leschber from Thorndale HS in Thorndale, TX.
Stryker had offers from Penn and Valparaiso, among others. He will be the first Thorndale grad to come to Columbia Football.
Kudos to Offensive Coordinator Mark Fabish, who netted these two players from his recruiting territory in Texas.

On a sad note, Mike Elbon '92 died this past weekend. He was my CU classmate and the first and still the only Wagoner HS grad (Wagoner, OK near Tulsa) to come to Columbia Football. He had been living back in his hometown of Wagoner for some time. Condolences to his friends and family,

Two very talented players with potential. Kelley is a particularly strong addition to a wide receiver group that could be the best in the Ivy League. I suspect there will be several other commits from the State of Texas.

We need some more depth at the RB position.
And another tall DB to cover the tall WRs who are a problem with 50/50 balls.
What makes you think Columbia WR group could be the best in the league compared to the All Ivy receivers and depth that are returning for Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth and Brown?
