Reid Spachman is Columbia’s disruptive, high-motor senior anchor on the defensive line
In the 2024 season, Reid Spachman started all 10 games at defensive tackle, posted 32 tackles, and earned Honorable Mention All-Ivy League plus team captain and Academic All-American recognition[1][8]. His calling card is gap-stuffing toughness with real backfield punch — he’s shown the ability to live in the backfield, force a fumble, and pile up TFLs, including a career-high seven tackles against No. 18 Lafayette in 2024[8]. He missed the 2024 season due to injury in one roster update, so durability is the one watch item, but when healthy he looks like a reliable, physical fit for any defense that values effort and interior disruption[1].
