Columbia’s savvy veteran corner with big-play DNA
Jared Morine has been a valuable Columbia defensive back, known for football IQ, steady tackling, and a nose for momentum-shifting plays — including a 36-yard pick-six against Fordham in 2009 and an award as Columbia’s Most Improved in 2009.[3][4] At 5-foot-10 and about 172 pounds, he fits as a competitive, versatile CB/special-teams contributor who brings experience, consistency, and a little bit of swagger — the kind of player coaches love when they want someone who can be trusted in tight game situations.[2][4]
