Columbia’s clutch leg with a legacy of game-winners
Nick Rudd’s profile at Columbia is built on high-leverage kicking: he became the Lions’ career field-goal leader after drilling three against Dartmouth in 2004, and his Columbia highlights include multiple game-winners plus a perfect 4-for-4 field-goal day at Princeton in 2003. That makes him the kind of specialist coaches love when games get tight—steady, proven under pressure, and capable of changing the scoreboard with one swing of the leg. If you value clutch special teams and late-game confidence, Rudd is absolutely your guy.
