LionFeeders Updated!

My running database of every documented Columbia Football player and commit plus their high school information has been updated to include the new players coming for 2019.

The LionFeeders database has been a strong recruiting tool for our coaches.

If you see any mistakes, especially those connected to high schools that are now defunct or have changed their names/merged, please let me know!

Speedy Safety

Carter McFadden


5-10 165 pound FS/WR Carter McFadden from Montgomery HS in Skillman, NJ has committed to the Lions.

McFadden appears to only have had some offers from some Division III schools, but his speed is undeniable.

McFadden will be the first Montgomery grad to come to Columbia Football.

That brings our list of commits for 2020 to four:

1. Braeden Bellmer OL 6-4 260 lbs. Puyallup HS Puyallup, WA

2. Jackson Coker WR 5-11 170 lbs. Westlake HS Austin, TX 

3. Carter McFadden FS/WR 5-10 165 lbs. Montgomery HS Skillman, NJ

4. Anthony Roussos LB 6-0 210 lbs. River Ridge HS New Port Richey, FL

Pacific Coast and Brotherly Commits

Braeden Bellmer

6-4, 260 pound OL Braeden Bellmer from Puyallup HS in the Tacoma/Seattle area has committed to the Lions for 2020.

Bellmar had offers from Rice, Harvard, Eastern Washington, and several other schools. According to my Lionfeeders database, He will be only the second Puyallup HS grad to come to Columbia Football and the first since Dan Grimm '72.

Anthony Roussos

Also joining the Lions next year is a player with a familiar last name, Anthony Roussos a 6-0, 210 pound LB from River Ridge HS in New Port Richey, FL.

Yes, Roussos is the younger brother of rising Lion sophomore All Ivy kick returner Mike Roussos.  He and his brother are the only River Ridge players to come to Columbia Football.

The younger Roussos has played on offense in high school, but he will be a linebacker for CU.

So our list of commits for 2020 has swelled to three:

1. Braeden Bellmer OL 6-4 260 lbs. Puyallup HS Puyallup, WA

2. Jackson Coker WR 5-11 170 lbs. Westlake HS Austin, TX

3. Anthony Roussos LB 6-0 210 lbs. River Ridge HS New Port Richey, FL
