Columbia freshman RB Brody McLaughlin brings a sturdy 5-foot-10, 201-pound frame and first-year upside
Brody McLaughlin enters the 2026 season as a first-year running back for Columbia, listed at 5'10" and 201 pounds after coming out of Unionville in Kennett Square, Pa.[1][2] The biggest draw is his college-ready build for an Ivy League back and his fresh-start upside—he looks like a compact, physical runner who could develop into a reliable every-down option if he quickly translates high school form to the college level.[1][2] Public stat pages and team listings currently show no meaningful college production yet, so this is more “watch the trajectory” than “buy the résumé” right now.[3][4]
