Columbia LB Caleb Chijoke Ihegihu brings length, speed, and upside
Ihegihu is a 6-foot-3, 220-pound junior linebacker at Columbia whose profile is more about upside than box-score production right now, since he did not see game action in 2024 or 2025.[3][10] What stands out is his verified high-school production at Flint Hill — 12 sacks, 26 quarterback pressures, 45 tackles, and all-state honors — plus a multi-sport background in basketball and track that suggests burst, range, and body control.[3][8] He looks like a developmental fit for a team that values athletic linebackers with pass-rush juice and long-term growth potential.[3][8]
