In addition to all the names of the incoming players that I had on my unofficial list, I'm seeing two new names on the roster listed as First Years:
First is 6-5, 230 pound DE J.P. Okeke from Whitewater HS in Fayetteville, Georgia. It looks like Okeke just started playing football his senior year of high school. That makes him one of those potential massive upside guys who could available to the Ivies simply because he wasn't playing football long enough in HS. Okeke will be the first Whitewater grad to come to Columbia.
Second is 6-0, 185 pound LB George Thanopoulos from Poly Prep HS in Brooklyn, NY. Thanopoulos should not be confused with a player of the same name who was a star pitcher for the baseball team about eight years ago. Thanopoulos will be the 7th Poly Prep grad to come to Columbia, but the first since Ari Pearlman '93.
