Jaylen Carter brings size, senior savvy, and two-way playmaking upside to Columbia’s receiver room
In the 2026 Columbia roster, senior WR Jaylen Carter is listed at 6-foot, 170 pounds and arrives with a decorated prep résumé: team captain, two-time First Team All-NEPSAC/Founders League, and a receiver who set his school’s single-season receiving record in back-to-back years. His appeal is the blend of route-running polish, competitive edge, and versatility—he also showed real ball skills on defense in high school, which usually translates to toughness and instincts at the college level. He looks like a smart fit for a team needing reliable, high-IQ play over flash.
