The 2023 List Begins

We still don't have an official story on the CU Athletics website announcing and describing the incoming 2022 football freshmen, but that still inexplicable, (and now a little disconcerting), delay has stretched so far that we now are getting commitment announcements from players who will enter Columbia in 2023. 

Here are those new commits for 2023:

Christian Carti

Christian Carti a 6-1, 190 pound WR from nearby Bergen Catholic HS in Northern New Jersey. Carti will be the 14th Bergen Catholic grad to come to Columbia Football and he will join current sophomore OL Pat Coliccho. 

Chase Goodwin

Next is 6-2, 200 pound QB Chase Goodwin from Memorial HS in Houston, TX. Goodwin will be the second Memorial HS grad to come to Columbia Football. 

Braeden Marceau-Olayinka

Heading up to New England, we have Braeden Marceau-Olayinka, a 6-3, 262 pound DL/OL from Melrose HS in Melrose, MA. Marcineau-Olyinka would be the second Melrose grade to come to Columbia Football. 

Heading south to Georgia we nabbed two brothers. First we have 6-3, 230 pound DE Keelan Kornegay from East Caweta HS in Sharpsburg, GA. He also had offers from Army and Air Force. Kornegay will be the first East Caweta grad to come to Columbia Football. 

Joining his brother is Bailey Kornegay-Douhadji, who is also a 6-3, 230 pound DE from East Caweta HS. I am not sure if the brothers are any relation to former Fordham All-American DB Tad Kornegay, who is still playing in the Canadian Football League. 

So, it's time to start the unofficial commit list for 2023:

1) Christian Carti WR 6"1 190 lbs. Bergen Catholic HS Oradell, NJ

2) Chase Goodwin QB 6"2 200 lbs. Memorial HS Houston, TX

3) Baily Kornegay-Douhadji DE 6"3 230 lbs. East Caweta HS Sharpsburg, GA

4) Keelan Kornegay DE 6"3 230 lbs. East Caweta HS Shapsburg, GA

5) Braeden Marceau-Olayinka DL/OL 6"3 262 lbs. Melrose HS Melrose, MA
