Landon Baty brings veteran ball-hawking leadership to Columbia’s secondary
Landon Baty is a seasoned Columbia defensive back whose game has long been defined by instincts, versatility, and playmaking: in his Columbia career, he totaled 142 tackles, 8 interceptions, 12 pass breakups, and 10 forced/recovered turnovers, and the program has described him as a sparkplug and inspirational leader. He’s the kind of DB who fits a team that wants reliable tackling, turnover creation, and a high-IQ presence in the back end—plus he’s already proven he can handle leadership and big-moment responsibility. In short: if you want a steady, feisty, ball-hunting defender, Baty checks a lot of boxes.
