Columbia’s 6-foot-3, 335-pound senior mauler still offers big-boy upside, but 2026 availability is the key question
Jaden Hinton enters the 2026 season as a senior offensive lineman for Columbia, listed at 6'3" and 335 pounds, with a rare wrestling background that hints at balance, leverage, and edge in the trenches.[1][2] The big caveat: Columbia’s roster and team bio indicate he did not see game action in 2023, 2024, or 2025, with 2025 missed due to injury, so the main appeal is developmental upside rather than proven college snaps.[2] If you want a physical interior body with toughness and upside, he’s interesting; if you need a ready-made, game-tested starter right now, the tape résumé is still light.[1][2]
