Columbia’s Michael Walters emerged as a record-setting rookie back in 2025
Walters enters 2026 as a **6-foot-2, 225-pound sophomore** who already broke Columbia’s rookie rushing record in 2025, finishing with **534 rushing yards, 3 rushing TDs, and 126 carries** while ranking **third in the Ivy League in rushing yards per game** and **fifth in yards per carry**. He looks like a high-volume, dependable downhill runner with enough receiving value to stay on the field, and his week-to-week production showed real consistency with multiple 80+ yard games. If your team wants a back with proven workload, size, and early-career productivity, he fits the profile.[9][5]
