Columbia's Scholar-Captain DL Entering Transfer Portal
Patrick Passalacqua, a 6'2" senior DL, exploded in the 2024 season with a career-high 32 tackles, 7 in the upset over #18 Lafayette (forcing a fumble), starting all 10 games as two-time captain on Columbia's Ivy League champion defense (No. 2 FCS scoring at 16.1 PPG).[1][2][6] First Columbia Lion Academic All-American since 2017 and Campbell Trophy semifinalist, his elite leadership, work ethic ('be where your feet are'), and Industrial Engineering major make him a culture-fit gem—no injury red flags.[3][1] Perfect for teams craving intense, reliable trench warriors.
