Cornell’s freshman QB Michael McColgan arrives with leadership pedigree and a dual-sport edge
McColgan is a 6-foot, 205-pound freshman quarterback from Deerfield Academy and Cincinnati who comes to Cornell as a two-year team captain and Second Team All-NEPSAC honoree in 2026, plus a four-year Honor Roll student and standout lacrosse midfielder[1][4]. He has no listed college statistics yet, but the appeal is his competitive profile: leadership, multi-sport athleticism, and a polished prep résumé that suggests a high-motor, team-first fit rather than a finished product[1][2].
