Patrick Sodl brings steady, veteran LB value to Columbia
In the 2025 season, Columbia linebacker Patrick Sodl played in all 10 games and posted 17 tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss, including a season-high six tackles against Brown and 1.5 TFL versus Lehigh[1]. His best differentiator is reliability: he’s a senior, weighs in at 205 pounds, and has the kind of disciplined, physical profile coaches trust in the Ivy League’s churn-heavy defensive rotations[1][5]. Add in a family football pedigree and a reputation as a high-motor, hard-nosed defender, and he looks like a solid fit for a team that values toughness, effort, and assignment-sound linebacker play[6][7].
